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

To obtain disk storage information that the database uses on each node, query system table DISK_STORAGE.

Examples

Restore the retired storage location on node4:

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