[NodeMapping]
Vertica uses the node mapping section exclusively to restore a full backup from one database to another, different, database. Be sure to update the [Mapping] section of your configuration file to point your target Vertica nodes to their source backup locations.
Important: Vertica does not automatically generate the [NodeMapping] section of the vbr configuration file. You must edit the file manually to add a node mapping section. Refer to Full Backup and Restore to an Alternate Cluster as an example.
Use the following form to specify node mapping:
source_vertica_node = target_vertica_host
For example, you can use the following mapping to restore content from one 4-node database to an alternate 4-node database.
[NodeMapping] v_exampledb_node0001 = new_host0001 v_exampledb_node0002 = new_host0002 v_exampledb_node0003 = new_host0003 v_exampledb_node0004 = new_host0004
