# Shard data evacuation

## Overview

Evacuation is the process of transferring data from one shard to another. Evacuation is used in case of problems with the shard in order to save data.

To start the evacuation, it is necessary that the shard is in read-only mode (read more [here](./shard-modes.md)).

First of all, by the evacuation the data is transferred to other shards of the same node; if it is not possible, then the data is transferred to other nodes.

Only one running evacuation process is allowed on the node at a time.

It is not necessary to turn maintenance mode on storage node.

Once evacuation from shard started, it is impossible to read data from it via public API, except the case when evacuation stopped manually or node restarted.

Because it is necessary to prevent removing by policer objects with policy `REP 1 ...` from remote node during evacuation.

`frostfs-cli` utility is used to manage evacuation.

## Commands

`frostfs-cli control shards evacuation start` starts evacuation process for shards specified. To start evacuating all node shards, use the `--all` flag.
By default, objects and trees are evacuated. To limit the evacuation scope, use `--scope` flag (possible values are `all`, `trees`, `objects`).
To evacuate objects only from containers with policy `REP 1` use option `--rep-one-only`.

`frostfs-cli control shards evacuation stop` stops running evacuation process.

`frostfs-cli control shards evacuation status` prints evacuation process status.

`frostfs-cli control shards evacuation reset` resets evacuation process status.

See commands `--help` output for detailed description.

## Examples

### Set shard mode to read only
```bash
frostfs-cli control shards set-mode --mode read-only --endpoint s01.frostfs.devenv:8081 --wallet ./../frostfs-dev-env/services/storage/wallet01.json --id 8kEBwtvKLU3Hva3PaaodUi
Enter password >
