  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 Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE 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 Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.

Data Fabric UI

Describes the graphical user interface for the HPE Data Fabric.

About the Data Fabric UI

The Data Fabric UI is the browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to monitor and manage the HPE Data Fabric.

The Data Fabric UI facilitates the management of all your data sources. Your data sources could comprise one or more fabrics that have been created using HPE Data Fabric, external data sources that belong to your organization. External data sources could be cloud-based external S3 servers and/or NFSv4 servers that have been imported into HPE Data Fabric and comprise the global namespace.

The following image displays the tabular view of resources on the All Resources page of the Data Fabric UI.

Some of the operations that you can perform by using the Data Fabric UI are as follows:

Create or import fabrics
Create volumes
Create volume mirrors and snapshots
Create buckets
Create topics
Manage users
Control access to data with storage policies and security policies
Monitor system resources

The following image lists the icons on the Data Fabric UI and the corresponding pages that appear on clicking the available icons.

The Data Fabric UI comprises the following pages:

The Home page presents a summary of system resources, capacity utilization, and alarms that are generated by the HPE Data Fabric events and user actions.
The All resources page facilitates the management of the global namespace, and the resources in the global namespace.
The Monitoring page presents a summary of system resources, fabric storage utilization to monitor.
The Fabric administration page facilitates the fabric administration operations that include configuring user quota, managing fabric access, creating remote targets, adding endpoints, managing storage policy.
The Security administration menu facilitates identity policy management, security policy management, and SSO configuration.

Launching the Data Fabric UI

To launch the Data Fabric UI, navigate to the host that is running the WebServer in the fabric. Access to the fabric typically uses HTTPS on port 8443. For example:

https://<host-name>:8443/app/dfui
