- 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.

Editing a VIP

Explains how to modify the Virtual IP (VIP) range using either the Control System or the CLI.

Editing a VIP Using the Control System

Procedure

Log in to the Control System and go to the service information page for NFS.
Click the VIP Range to modify.
The Edit Virtual IP page displays.

Modify changes to one or more of the following as needed.

Preferred MAC Address	The preferred MAC for this virtual IP. When an NFS server restarts, the HPE Data Fabric system attempts to move all of the virtual IP addresses that list a MAC address on this node as a preferred MAC to this node. If the new value is null, this field resets the preferred MAC value.
Select network interfaces	The list of MAC addresses that represent the NICs on the nodes to which the VIPs in the VIP range can be associated. Use this list to limit VIP assignment to NICs on a particular subnet when your NFS server is part of multiple subnets.

Click Save Changes for the changes to take effect.

Editing a VIP Using the CLI and REST API

About this task

CLI

The basic command to modify a VIP range is:

maprcli virtualip edit -netmask <netmask> -virtualip <virtualip>

REST

Send a request of type POST. For example:

 curl -X POST 'https://<host>:8443/rest/virtualip/edit?netmast<netmask>&virtualip=<vip>' --user <username>:<password>

For the complete list of required and optional parameters, see virtualip edit.
