The topics covered in this section are:
Modifying the ZooKeeper Cluster: Execute the following command to modify the cluster level parameters of the ZooKeeper service.
zman server-role-zookeeper-update-cluster (zman srzuc)
The parameters of this command are:
-l --leader-connect-port: Define the leader port that the followers will use to connect to a leader in the cluster. The default port is 6790. However, you can specify an unused port between 6000 and 65535.
-c --client-port: Define the port on which ZooKeeper will listen in for incoming client connections. The default port is 6789. However, you can specify an unused port between 6000 and 65535.
-e --leader-elect-port: : Define the election port that all servers in the cluster will use to elect the leader. The default port is 6791. However, you can specify an unused port between 6000 and 65535.
-t --tick-time: Define the length of a single tick, which is a basic time unit in milliseconds, used by ZooKeeper to regulate heartbeats and timeouts. The default value is 2000.
-i --init-limit: Define the amount of time, in ticks, to allow followers to connect to the leader. The default value is 10.
-s --sync-limit: Define the amount of time, in ticks, to allow followers to sync with ZooKeeper. The default value is 5.
-x --max-connections: Specify the maximum number of client connections that the ZooKeeper cluster can accept. The default value is 120.
For example: zman server-role-zookeeper-update-cluster -s=6
Removing additional ZooKeeper servers: Execute the following command to remove additional ZooKeeper servers:
zman server-role-zookeeper-remove-server (zman srzrs)
This command removes any additional servers from the existing cluster. Specify the DNS, GUID or path of the server object (server, server folder or server group) relative to /Devices/Servers. At least one server in the zone must have a ZooKeeper role enabled on it. Therefore, this command will not work if the server in which ZooKeeper role is enabled, is the last ZooKeeper server.
For example: zman server-role-zookeeper-remove-server --servers=server1.microfocus.com
Viewing list of ZooKeeper servers: Execute the following command to view the list of ZooKeeper servers in a cluster.
zman server-role-zookeeper-list-cluster (zman srzlc)
For more information on maintaining the Kafka cluster, see Kafka Reference Guide.
IMPORTANT:If you modify the Vertica cluster, ensure that you restart the ZENserver and ZENloader services on all the Primary Servers.
Removing a server: Execute the following command to remove a server from the existing cluster:
zman server-role-vertica-remove server (zman srvrs)
Specify the DNS, GUID or path of the server object (server, server folder or server group) relative to /Devices/Servers, while executing this command. You can only remove one server at a time. Ensure that the K-safety factor remains effective after removing a server from the cluster. If you are decommissioning a server from the existing cluster, then before removing the server, it is recommended that you add another server to the cluster.
For example: zman server-role-vertica-remove server --servers=server1.microfocus.com
Preparing the Vertica server for restore process: Execute the following command to prepare the Vertica server during the backup and restore process. For more information, see Replacing an Existing Primary Server with a New Primary Server.
zman server-role-vertica-prepare-server (zman srvps)
Viewing list of Vertica servers: Execute the following command to view the list of Vertica servers in a cluster:
zman server-role-vertica-list-cluster (zman srvlc)
