dump rolebalancerinfo

Returns information about active replication role switches.

Use the dump rolebalancerinfo command to see if the replication role balancer is currently switching the replication roles of any containers in a cluster. For example, if too many data containers with the master or intermediate roles exist within a storage pool, the replication role balancer switches the role of some of these containers to the tail role to evenly spread the load across nodes during the replication process. If the role balancer is not currently switching the roles of any containers, the command returns a message stating that there are no active role switches.

You can include some additional parameters with the dump rolebalancerinfo command, such as the volumeinfo parameter, which provides information about how the replication role balancer balanced container roles across each storage pool in a particular volume.

See Replication Role Balancer for more information about how the replication role balancer works.

For the best readability, use the -json option at the end of the command.

Syntax

maprcli dump rolebalancerinfo
        [ -cluster cluster_name ]
        [ -namecntrinfo Get NameContainers Info Parameter takes no value  ]
        [ -stats Gets RoleBalancer AcitveSwitches Info Parameter takes no value  ]

Parameters

Parameter Description
cluster The cluster on which to run the command. When you omit this parameter, the command runs on the same cluster where it is issued. In a multi-cluster environment, use this parameter to specify a particular cluster.
stats Provides a list of active switches for the role balancer. The command returns the same information with or without this parameter.
volumeinfo Provides the volume balancing information and details how the container roles are balanced across each storage pool in a volume. Requires the volumename parameter.
volumename The name of the volume. To obtain volume names, use the maprcli volume list command.
namecntrinfo Provides information about how the name containers are distributed across the storage pools in the cluster, including how many name containers are master and tail containers. Useful when the replication role balancer is configured to balance container roles by count instead of size.

Output

The following example shows the output of the dump rolebalancerinfo command when the replication role balancer switches a container to the tail role:

# maprcli dump rolebalancerinfo -json
{
      "timestamp":1452150159265, 
      "timeofday":"2016-01-07 07:02:39.265 GMT+0000",
      "status":"OK",
      "total":1,
      "data":[

              }
        ]
   }
The following example shows the dump rolebalancerinfo -volumeinfo -volumename command:
# maprcli dump rolebalancerinfo -volumeinfo -volumename vol2 -json

Output

Field Description
containerID The unique ID number of the container.
Tail IP:Port The IP address and port number of the tail container node.
Updates blocked Since During a replication role switch, updates to that container are blocked during the date and time indicated.
Volume Name of the volume.
Assign Cache Containers Count The total number of containers in the assign cache. The assign cache is a list of containers that the CLDB has reserved on a particular file server node. The CLDB allocates containers from the cache when it receives a request from the file server for more containers.
Assign Cache Containers Size The total size of the containers in the assigned cache. The assign cache is a list of containers that the CLDB has reserved on a particular file server node. The CLDB allocates containers from the cache when it receives a request from the file server for more containers.
Zero Size Containers Count The number of empty cache containers.
Storage Pools The list of storage pools in the specified volume.
SpId The ID of the storage pool located within the specified volume.
HostAddress The server on which the storage pool resides.
NumContainers The total number of containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
The total number of master containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
NumTails The total number of tail containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
SizeOfContainers The total size of the containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
The total size of the master containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
The cumulative size of master replicas on a specific storage pool within a volume. Typically, this is 1/ReplicationFactor of all containers on a storage pool for a particular volume. For example, if the replication factor is set to 3, then ⅓ of all containers on a storage pool should have the master container role.
SizeOfTails The total size of the tail containers that reside on the storage pool in the specified volume.
DesiredSizeOfTails The cumulative size of tail replicas on a specific storage pool within a volume. Typically, this is 1/ReplicationFactor of all containers on a storage pool for a particular volume. For example, if the replication factor is set to 3, then ⅓ of all containers on a storage pool should have the tail container role.
