    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 Data Fabric 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.

Creating Remote Mirrors

Describes the use of remote mirror volumes. The remote mirror volume is present on a different cluster from the source volume.

Creating remote mirrors is similar to creating local mirrors, except that the mirror volume resides in a different cluster from the source volume. To properly identify the source volume, you must specify the source cluster name when the mirror volume is created. In addition, you must edit the mapr-clusters.conf file so that each cluster can resolve the nodes in the other cluster.

To create a mirror on a remote cluster, you must have the same UID for the MAPR_USER (the cluster owner) for both the primary cluster (where the source volume resides) and the remote clusters (where the mirror volumes reside; also known as the destination clusters). You also need to have the following volume permissions:

dump permission on the source volumes
restore permission on the mirror volumes at the destination clusters

When a mirror volume is created on a remote cluster (according to the entries in the mapr-clusters.conf file), the CLDB checks that the local volume exists in the local cluster. If both clusters are not set up and running, the remote mirror volume cannot be created.

To summarize:

Each cluster must be already set up and running.
Each cluster must have a unique name.
Every node in each cluster must be able to resolve all nodes in remote clusters, either through DNS or entries in /etc/hosts.
The UID for the MAPR_USER (cluster owner) must be the same for the source and destination clusters, irrespective of which user account triggers the mirror operation.
Volume permission must be set to dump on the source volumes.
Volume permission must be set to restore on the mirror volumes.
