volume dump restore

Restores or updates a volume from a dump file. Permissions required: fc or restore on the volume.

Syntax

CLI

maprcli volume dump restore
    [ -cluster <cluster> ]
    [ -dumpfile dumpfilename ]
    [ -i ]
    [ -n ]
    -name <volume name>

REST

None.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
cluster	The cluster on which to run the command.
dumpfile	The name of the dumpfile (ignored if `-i` is used).
i	This option reads the dump file from `stdin`.
n	This option creates a new volume if it doesn't exist.
name	A volume name, in the form `volumename`

NOTE: In a secure cluster, you must use the MapR user ID. Using root or any other user ID results in the system hanging.

Examples

Restore a volume from a full dump file:

CLI

maprcli volume dump restore -name volume -dumpfile fulldump1

Apply an incremental dump file to a volume:

CLI

maprcli volume dump restore -name volume -dumpfile incrdump1
