Configure a Hive filesystem agent

You can configure a Hive filesystem target agent to migrate your metadata to a specified target filesystem location. Use this to migrate metadata to a loading location to be read or manipulated ahead of its final destination.

note

Hive filesystem target agents are currently only available using the CLI.

Prerequisites

• A target filesystem configured in Data Migrator.

Configure a Hive filesystem target agent with the CLI

To create a Hive filesystem target agent, run the hive agent add filesystem command in the WANdisco CLI.

hive agent add filesystem

Add a filesystem Hive agent to migrate your metadata to a specified target filesystem location using the hive agent add filesystem command.

Add filesystem agent

hive agent add filesystem [--file-system-id] string
                                  [--root-folder] string
                                  [--name] string

• --file-system-id The filesystem ID to be used.
• --root-folder The path to use as the root directory for the filesystem agent.
• --name The ID to give to the new Hive agent.

Example

hive agent add filesystem --file-system-id myfilesystem --root-folder /var/lib/mysql --name fsAgent
