About Release 7.9.0
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 7.9.0, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
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.
- 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.

Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

clustergroup fetchchainca

Displays location of the CA certificate chain on the specified cluster or all clusters in the cluster group.

When it comes to a cluster group, there are multiple clusters in the cluster group. One or more external S3 servers could be a part of the cluster group if they are imported into Data Fabric.

A CA certificate is the means for a S3 client will to connect to a cluster or to an external S3 server in a cluster group.

Every cluster or fabric has a CA certificate that is signed by HPE.

You could have generated a combined CA certificate or a CA certificate chain for multiple fabrics/ clusters that are part of the global namespace or cluster group. The CA certificate chain is retrieved from cldb of the primary cluster.

If you wish to add an external s3 server to cluster group, you would require the certificate of external s3 server to be stored on the cldb of the primary server.

Use the

clustergroup
                fetchchainca

CLI command to display the location of the CA certificate chain for the specified cluster in a cluster group or all clusters in the cluster group.

By default, the CA certificate chain is saved in /tmp/chain-ca.pem.

Once you have the location of the CA certificate chain, you can copy it to the desired location.

maprcli clustergroup fetchchainca
   [ - clustername name of the cluster]
   [ - allclusters all clusters <true|false> ]
