  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.

Starting, Stopping, and Restarting HPE Data Fabric NFSv4

Describes how to start, stop and restart the NFS version 4 service using either the Control System, the CLI, or the REST API.

Starting, Stopping, and Restarting HPE Data Fabric NFSv4 Using the Control System

About this task

NOTE

NFSv4 refers to NFS version 4.1.

See:

Starting, Stopping, and Restarting HPE Data Fabric NFSv4 Using the CLI and REST API

About this task

NOTE

On Ubuntu 20, run the following commands before starting NFS4, Else, NFS fails to start, as it cannot find the jemalloc library.

apt-get install libjemalloc2

ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.2 /opt/mapr/lib/libjemalloc.so.1

CLI
REST

To stop, start, or restart the HPE Data Fabric NFSv4 server, run:

maprcli node services -nodes <node names> -name nfs4 -action stop|start|restart

Send a request of type POST. For example:

curl -X POST 'https://<host>:8443/rest/node/services?nodes=<nodeNames>&nfs4=stop|start|restart' --user <username>:<password>

NOTE

When the NFS server is stopped, the VIPs associated with the server are released, and CLDB attempts to reassign the VIPs to other available NFS servers.

For the complete list of parameters, see node services.
