6.2 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.2 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a data-fabric cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
  - Managing Data with Volumes
    Provides an overview of how to manage volume data.
  - Managing Snapshots
    This section provide information about managing snapshots.
  - Managing User Disk Usage
  - Managing Schedules
  - Managing Tiers
  - Managing Storage Policies
    - Creating a Storage Tier Policy
      Explains how to create a tiering policy for storage using either the Control System, the CLI, or the REST API.
    - Viewing the List of Storage Tier Policies
      Explains how to view tiering policies for storage using either the Control System, the CLI, or the REST API.
    - Modifying a Storage Tier Policy
      Explains how to modify a storage tier policy using either the Control System, CLI, or the REST API.
    - Specifying a Storage Tier Policy
      Explains how to associate a storage tier policy with a tiering-enabled volume using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Removing a Storage Policy
      Explains how to remove tiering policies for storage using either the Control System, the CLI, or the REST API.
  - Using Storage Labels
    Describes the Storage Labels feature.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.
6.2 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.

Specifying a Storage Tier Policy

Explains how to associate a storage tier policy with a tiering-enabled volume using either the Control System or the CLI.

Specifying a Storage Tier Policy Using the Control System

About this task

You can associate a storage policy with a tiering-enabled volume when you are:

Creating a volume by clicking Create Volume in the Data > Volumes page.
NOTE The Volumes page is under the Volumes menu in the Kubernetes version of the Control System.
Editing the tiering-enabled volume by clicking Edit Volume button in the volume information page.

To associate a storage policy with the volume, in the Create Volume or Edit Volume page:

Procedure

Click the Browse link associated with the Storage Policy field to display the Browse Storage Policies window.
Review the name and detail of each storage policy and choose a storage policy from the list.
Click Select to associate the storage policy with the volume.
Complete the steps for creating or editing the volume.

Specifying a Storage Tier Policy Using the CLI and REST API

About this task

You can associate a rule with a tiering-enabled volume by specifying the tieringrule parameter with the volume create or volume modify command.

Run a command similar to the following to associate a rule when:

Creating a volume:

maprcli volume create -name <volName> -path <mountPath> -tieringenable true -tiername <tierName> -tieringrule <ruleName> -json

For the list of all other required and optional parameters, see volume create.

Editing the volume:
```
maprcli volume modify -name <volName> -tieringrule <ruleName> -json
```
For the list of all other required and optional parameters, see volume modify.

Send a request of type POST. For example, to associate a rule when:

Creating a volume:

curl -k -X POST 'https://<host>:8443/rest/volume/create?name=<volName>&path=<mountPath>&tieringenable=true&tiername=<tierName>&tieringrule=<ruleName>' --user mapr:mapr

For the list of all other required and optional parameters, see volume create.

Editing the volume:

curl -k -X POST 'https://<host>:8443/rest/volume/modify?name=<volName>&tieringrule=<ruleName>' --user mapr:mapr

For the list of all other required and optional parameters, see volume modify.
