Creating Replicas of Local Volumes in Custom Topology Using the CLI
To set the configuration parameter for placing replicas of volumes in a topology relative to
the local node, run the maprcli config save command. The value can be a:
- Positive number to indicate the number of paths to keep from the initial root (of the
topology path). For example:
maprcli config save -values {"cldb.local.volume.topology.trim.index":"1"} - Negative number to indicate the number of paths to skip from the end of the topology path.
For example:
maprcli config save -values {"cldb.local.volume.topology.trim.index":"-2"}
For example, suppose the local volume is created on a node that is under the topology
/data-center1/lab2/rack3/shelf4/10.10.20.30. To create a local volume where
the replicas are restricted to /data-center1/lab2/rack3 topology, run the
following command:
maprcli config save -values {"cldb.local.volume.topology.trim.index":"3"}
maprcli volume create -name egLocalVol -path /data-center1/lab2/rack3/shelf4/10.10.20.30 -localvolumehost 10.10.20.30Alternatively, you can run the following command to specify the path for the volume from the end of the topology path:
maprcli config save -values {"cldb.local.volume.topology.trim.index":"-2"}
maprcli volume create -name egLocalVol -path /data-center1/lab2/rack3/shelf4/10.10.20.30 -localvolumehost 10.20.30.40The replicas for containers of the volume, egLocalVol, will be created on nodes under
/data-center1/lab2/rack3.
