About Release 8.0.0
This site contains documentation for HPE Data Fabric release 8.0.0, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
8.0.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing HPE 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.
8.0.0 Upgrade
This section describes how to upgrade HPE Data Fabric software.
8.0.0 Data Fabric
HPE Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
8.0.0 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Working with Multiple Fabrics Using the Data Fabric UI
  This section describes how you can get started learning about, installing, and using the HPE Data Fabric.
- 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 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.
- Administering Services
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Viewing CLDB Information
    Describes how to view CLDB information from the CLDB page, and provides an explanation of each field that the page displays.

      Describes how Data Fabric works with NFS v3.
    - Accessing Data with NFS v4
      Describes how HPE Data Fabric works with the NFS v4 protocol. Presents an overview of the process flow to read and write HPE Data Fabric processes with NFS v4, and a list of NFS v4 features that HPE Data Fabric does not support.
    - Viewing the List of NFS Servers
      Explains how to view the list of NFS servers using the Control System.
    - Handling Heavy Write Loads on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
      Describes a fix to mitigate resource contention between NFS Clients and the NFS Server on Red Hat Linux.
    - Configure NFS Write Performance
      Describes how to set the optimal value for outstanding Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests to the NFS server.
    - Adjusting NFS Memory Settings
    - Running NFS on a Non-standard Port
    - Enabling Debug Logging for NFS Using the CLI
    - Unmounting the Data Fabric Cluster from the Command-Line
  - Managing HPE Data Fabric POSIX Clients
    Provides a brief synopsis of HPE Data Fabric POSIX clients.
  - Managing the MAST Gateway
  - Configuring YARN for Control Groups
    Control groups (cgroups) are a Linux kernel feature available through the LinuxContainerExecutor program that you can configure to limit and monitor the CPU resources available to YARN container processes on a node.

- 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 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 Data Fabric cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.

Running NFS on a Non-standard Port

Procedure

To run NFS on an arbitrary port, modify the following line in warden.conf:
```
service.command.nfs.start=/etc/init.d/mapr-nfsserver start
```
Add -p <portnumber> to the end of the line, as in the following example:
```
service.command.nfs.start=/etc/init.d/mapr-nfsserver start -p 12345
```
After modifying warden.conf, restart the Data Fabric NFS server by issuing the following command:
```
maprcli node services -nodes <nodename> -nfs restart
```
You can verify the port change with the rpcinfo -p localhost command.

WARNING
MapR uses version 3 of the NFS protocol. NFS version 4 bypasses the port mapper and attempts to connect to the default port only. If you are running NFS on a non-standard port, mounts from NFS version 4 clients time out. Use the -o nfsvers=3 option to specify NFS version 3.
