- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Introduction
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is a platform for data-driven analytics, ML, and AI workloads. The patented file-system architecture was designed and built for performance, reliability, and scalability. HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise supports multiple implementations of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes Administration
  You administer HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes and Embedded Data Fabric as part of your HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise environment. The external "bare metal" implementation of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is administered through its own tools and has its own documentation. (Not available in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise Essentials.)
  - About HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes
  - Requirements for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes (for non-production environments only)
    Describes the requirements for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes, which is only supported for non-production environments. For all production requirements, recommendation is to use HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Bare Metal.
  - Data Fabric Cluster Administrator Username and Password
    This topic defines the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster administrator and provides information about the default username (mapr) and password for the Data Fabric cluster administrator in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise deployments.
  - Using Self-Signed Certificates with the Data Fabric Cluster
  - External KMIP Keystore Support
  - Creating a New Data Fabric Cluster
    Use this procedure when creating a cluster that implements HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes.
  - Expanding a Data Fabric Cluster
    This procedure describes how to expand an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes cluster deployed on HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
  - Shutting Down a Data Fabric Cluster
    This procedure performs an orderly shut down of Data Fabric clusters that implement HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes. This procedure does not apply to bare-metal HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters. This procedure does not shut down the entire HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
  - Restarting the Data Fabric Cluster
    This procedure resumes the startup process for Data Fabric clusters that implement HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes. This procedure does not apply to bare-metal HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters. This procedure does not restart the entire HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
  - Upgrading and Patching Data Fabric Clusters on Kubernetes
  - Managing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes
  - Using the CSI
  - Upgrading the CSI Plug-In
    Use this procedure to upgrade the CSI plug-in on Kubernetes clusters that are not HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes clusters in deployments of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise 5.3.5 or later. Upgrading the CSI plug-in requires restarting or recreating the affected pods.
  - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Control System (MCS)
  - Disk Management in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes
    The topics in this section describe disk management tasks for disks that are part of storage pools on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes on HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
  - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Administration
    Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes is done using the maprcli command line interface (not the MCS). HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
  - Configuring Cross-Cluster Trust
  - Creating Multiple Gateways for Table and Stream Replication
    You can create multiple gateways for table and stream replication by increasing the number of maprgateway pods.
  - Debugging and Troubleshooting
  - Object Store (S3 Gateway) Overview
  - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Store
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Store provides a reliable, global event streaming system that integrates publish and subscribe messaging to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
  - Erasure coding
    In HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes supports storage tiers that use erasure coding for data. Erasure coding (EC) is a method of protecting data on lower-cost hardware that also reduces storage overhead in the range of 1.2x-1.5x. EC ensures that if data becomes corrupted, it can be reconstructed using information about the data that is present elsewhere.
    - Data Tiering
      Data tiering is the process by which data is moved among storage tiers as a way for a business to ensure that the appropriate data resides on the appropriate storage technology. Typical data tiering includes hot (replicated), warm (erasure coded), and cold (remote storage) tiers.
    - MAST Gateway
      The Data Fabric automated storage tiering (MAST) Gateway acts as the centralized entry point for all the tiering operations. CLDB assigns tiering-enabled volumes to MAST Gateways for processing all tiering operations for the volume.
    - Example: Creating a 10+2+2 EC volume using maprcli
      This example shows the steps to use maprcli to create a 10+2+2 erasure coded (EC) volume in an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
  - Kafka REST Support
  - Policy-Based Security
    In HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric on Kubernetes supports policy-based security (PBS), and the creation and management of security policies for Data Fabric objects through maprcli commands.

MAST Gateway

The Data Fabric automated storage tiering (MAST) Gateway acts as the centralized entry point for all the tiering operations. CLDB assigns tiering-enabled volumes to MAST Gateways for processing all tiering operations for the volume.

If you are upgrading from a version of HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise prior to version 5.3, you must enable the MAST gateway by adding the following to the gateways section of the dataplatform CR:

gateways:
 mast: true

For more information about the MAST gateway, see the following in the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric documentation:
