Create Snapshot of the Store

This section describes how you can create a snapshot of the store.

Invoke the runadmin command to start the admin CLI and securely connect to the store running on host phoenix581601 at port 8000. In the command below, kvroot/security is the security directory. The security directory contains all the security related files that were automatically generated by the securityconfig tool while creating the secure store using the makebootconfig command. For more details, see Configuring security in a data store.
java -Xmx64m -Xms64m -jar lib/kvstore.jar runadmin -port 8000 -host phoenix581601localhost -security kvroot/security/client.security
