Setting Recovery Type

  • reference
Node recovery type is set with the POST /controller/setRecoveryType HTTP method and URI.

HTTP method and URI

Sets the recovery type to be performed for a node that has been failed over. The recovery type for a node is set after the node is failed over and before rebalance. Rebalance is required to apply the recovery.

POST /controller/setRecoveryType

Specify recoveryType=full.

Syntax

POST /controller/setRecoveryType
    otpNode=[node@hostname]
    recoveryType=full

The otpNode parameter specifies the node to be recovered, in the form ns_1@<hostname>. The node must currently be failed over, or already marked for recovery.

Example

The following Curl request example sets full recovery for a failed-over node.

curl -u Administrator:password -d 'otpNode=ns_1@10.5.2.118' -d 'recoveryType=full' \
http://10.5.2.54:8091/controller/setRecoveryType

If successful, the call returns an empty array. The node must then be rebalanced back into the cluster: see Rebalancing the Cluster.

Response codes

200       // Request succeeded
400       // recoveryType and/or otpNode could not be understood by the server,
             or the node is not in a failed-over state

If the call fails, the response is an object that names each parameter in error. For example:

{"otpNode":"invalid node name or node can't be used for delta recovery"}
