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

For information about the disk storage used on each node, query the DISK_STORAGE system table.

Examples

Restore a retired storage location on node4:

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