Restoring the Store

This section talks about restoring a data store from the backup.

We will now see how we can restore the backed-up data on to a new store. Let us create the new store with storage node 3 and storage node 4.

The storage nodes are on the host phoenix581601 at ports 5000 and 6000. Start the storage node agents. For more details, see Configuring a single region data store.

Use the configure -name command to specify the name of the store.

The name of the new store must be same as the name of the store you backed up. In this case, use mystore.

Invoke the runadmin command to start the admin CLI utility to securely connect to the store running on the host phoenix581601 at port 5000. In the command below, kvroot2/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 5000 -host phoenix581601localhost -security kvroot2/security/client.security

Output:

Logged in to Admin as anonymous
Connected to Admin in read-only mode
kv->

Use the configure -name command to specify the name of the store.

configure -name mystore

Output:

Connected to Admin in read-only mode
configured: mystore

Exit the admin CLI utility

exit
