Effects of Restoring a Previously Retired Location

After restoring a storage location, Vertica re-ranks all of the cluster storage locations. It uses the newly restored location to process queries as determined by its rank.

Monitoring Storage Locations

Disk storage information that the database uses on each node appears in the V_MONITOR.DISK_STORAGE system table.

Examples

The following example shows how to restore the retired storage location on node3:

=> SELECT RESTORE_LOCATION ('/thirdVerticaStorageLocation/' , 'v_vmartdb_node0004');
