7.9.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
7.9.0 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
7.9.0 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.
- 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.

Restore Volume From a Dump

Describes how to restore from full and incremental dump files.

About this task

There are two ways to use volume dump restore:

With a full dump file, volume dump restore recreates a volume from scratch from volume data stored in the dump file.
With an incremental dump file, volume dump restore updates a volume using incremental changes stored in the dump file.

The volume that results from a volume dump restore operation is a mirror volume whose source is the volume from which the dump was created. After the operation, this volume can perform mirroring from the source volume.

When you are updating a volume from an incremental dump file, you must specify an existing volume and an incremental dump file. To restore from a sequence of previous dump files would involve first restoring from the volume's full dump file, then applying each subsequent incremental dump file.

NOTE

In a secure cluster, you must use the Data Fabric user ID. Using root or any other user ID results in the system hanging.

A restored volume may contain mount points that represent volumes that were mounted under the original source volume from which the dump was created. In the restored volume, these mount points have no meaning and do not provide access to any volumes that were mounted under the source volume. If the source volume still exists, then the mount points in the restored volume will work if the restored volume is associated with the source volume as a mirror.

To restore from a full dump plus a sequence of incremental dumps:

Procedure

Restore from the full dump file, using the -n option to create a new mirror volume and the -name option to specify the name.
```
maprcli volume dump restore -dumpfile fulldump1 -name restore1 -n
```

Restore from each incremental dump file in order, specifying the same volume name.

maprcli volume dump restore -dumpfile incrdump1 -name restore1 maprcli
                        volume dump restore -dumpfile incrdump2 -name restore1 maprcli volume dump restore
                        -dumpfile incrdump3 -name restore1
