  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.

  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.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.

Container 256000049 prev 0 next 2050.

See mrconfig for instructions on running mrconfig commands.

Syntax

mrconfig [-h <host>] [-p <port>] info containerchain <cid>

    <cid>
