11 SP3. Or, if you plan to perform a Local Repository install, be sure to use the
SLES 11 SP3 repositories.
Mar 29, 2015
The installer pulls many packages from the base OS repositories. If you do not
have a complete set of base OS repositories available to all your machines at the
time of installation you may run into issues.
If you encounter problems with base OS repositories being unavailable, please
contact your system administrator to arrange for these additional repositories to be
proxied or mirrored. For more information see Using a Local Repository.

OpenJDK 7 64-bit (not supported on SLES) To install OpenJDK 7 for RHEL, run the
following command on all hosts:
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
Database Requirements
Ambari requires a relational database to store information about the cluster configuration and
topology. If you install HDP Stack with Hive or Oozie, they also require a relational database.
The following table outlines these database requirements:
Component
Description
Ambari
By default, will install an instance of PostgreSQL on the Ambari Server host. Optionally, to use an
existing instance of PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle. For further information, see Using Non-Default
Databases - Ambari.
Hive
By default (on RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux 6), Ambari will install an instance of MySQL on the Hive
Metastore host. Otherwise, you need to use an existing instance of PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle.
See Using Non-Default Databases - Hive for more information.
Oozie
By default, Ambari will install an instance of Derby on the Oozie Server host. Optionally, to use an
existing instance of PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle, see Using Non-Default Databases - Oozie for
more information.
For the Ambari database, if you use an existing Oracle database, make sure the
Oracle listener runs on a port other than 8080 to avoid conflict with the default
Ambari port. Alternatively, refer to the Ambari Reference Guide for information on
Changing the Default Ambari Server Port.
Mar 29, 2015
Memory Requirements
The Ambari host should have at least 1 GB RAM, with 500 MB free.
The Ambari Metrics Collector host should have the following memory and disk space available
based on cluster size:
Number of hosts Memory Available Disk Space

Check the Maximum Open File Descriptors

The recommended maximum number of open file descriptors is 10000, or more. To check the
current value set for the maximum number of open file descriptors, execute the following shell
commands on each host: ulimit -Sn ulimit -Hn
10
Mar 29, 2015
Collect Information
Before deploying an HDP cluster, you should collect the following information:
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of each host in your system. The Ambari install
wizard supports using IP addresses. You can use hostname -f to check or verify the
FQDN of a host.
Deploying all HDP components on a single host is possible, but is appropriate only
for initial evaluation purposes. Typically, you set up at least three hosts; one master
host and two slaves, as a minimum cluster. For more information about deploying
HDP components, see the descriptions for a Typical Hadoop Cluster.
A list of components you want to set up on each host.
The base directories you want to use as mount points for storing:
o
NameNode data
DataNodes data
Secondary NameNode data
Oozie data
YARN data (Hadoop version 2.x)
ZooKeeper data, if you install ZooKeeper
Various log, pid, and db files, depending on your install type

You must use base directories that provide persistent storage locations for your
HDP components and your Hadoop data. Installing HDP components in locations
that may be removed from a host may result in cluster failure or data loss. For
example, do not use /tmp in a base directory path.
11
Mar 29, 2015
Prepare the Environment

To deploy your Hadoop instance, you need to prepare your deployment environment:
Check Existing Package Versions
Set up Password-less SSH
Set up Service User Accounts
Enable NTP on the Cluster
Check DNS
Configure iptables
Disable SELinux, PackageKit and Check umask Value
Check Existing Package Versions

During installation, Ambari overwrites current versions of some packages required by Ambari to
manage a Hadoop cluster. Package versions other than those that Ambari installs can cause
problems running the installer. Remove any package versions that do not match the following
ones:
RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux 6

libffi 3.0.5-1.el5, python26 2.6.8-2.el5, python26-libs 2.6.82.el5
Set Up Password-less SSH

To have Ambari Server automatically install Ambari Agents on all your cluster hosts, you must
set up password-less SSH connections between the Ambari Server host and all other hosts in
the cluster. The Ambari Server host uses SSH public key authentication to remotely access and
install the Ambari Agent.
You can choose to manually install the Agents on each cluster host. In this case,
you do not need to generate and distribute SSH keys.
Generate public and private SSH keys on the Ambari Server host.
ssh-keygen
Copy the SSH Public Key (id_rsa.pub) to the root account on your target hosts.
.ssh/id_rsa .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Add the SSH Public Key to the authorized_keys file on your target hosts.
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
Depending on your version of SSH, you may need to set permissions on the .ssh
directory (to 700) and the authorized_keys file in that directory (to 600) on the target
hosts.
chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
From the Ambari Server, make sure you can connect to each host in the cluster using
SSH, without having to enter a password.
ssh root@<remote.target.host> where <remote.target.host> has the
value of each host name in your cluster.
If the following warning message displays during your first connection: Are you sure
you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Enter Yes.
Retain a copy of the SSH Private Key on the machine from which you will run the webbased Ambari Install Wizard.
13
Mar 29, 2015
It is possible to use a non-root SSH account, if that account can execute sudo
without entering a password.
Set up Service User Accounts

Each HDP service requires a service user account. The Ambari Install wizard creates new and
preserves any existing service user accounts, and uses these accounts when configuring
Hadoop services. Service user account creation applies to service user accounts on the local
operating system and to LDAP/AD accounts.
For more information about customizing service user accounts for each HDP service, see
Defining Service Users and Groups for a HDP 2.x Stack.
Enable NTP on the Cluster and on the Browser Host
The clocks of all the nodes in your cluster and the machine that runs the browser through which
you access the Ambari Web interface must be able to synchronize with each other.
To check that the NTP service is on, run the following command on each host: chkconfig -list ntpd
To set the NTP service to start on reboot, run the following command on each host: chkconfig
ntpd on
To turn on the NTP service, run the following command on each host: service ntpd start
Check DNS
All hosts in your system must be configured for both forward and and reverse DNS.
If you are unable to configure DNS in this way, you should edit the /etc/hosts file on every host
in your cluster to contain the IP address and Fully Qualified Domain Name of each of your
hosts. The following instructions are provided as an overview and cover a basic network setup
for generic Linux hosts. Different versions and flavors of Linux might require slightly different
commands and procedures. Please refer to the documentation for the operating system(s)
deployed in your environment.
Edit the Host File
Using a text editor, open the hosts file on every host in your cluster. For example:
vi /etc/hosts
Add a line for each host in your cluster. The line should consist of the IP address and the
FQDN. For example:
1.2.3.4 <fully.qualified.domain.name>
14
Mar 29, 2015
Do not remove the following two lines from your hosts file. Removing or editing the
following lines may cause various programs that require network functionality to fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1
localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Set the Hostname
Confirm that the hostname is set by running the following command:

hostname -f
This should return the <fully.qualified.domain.name> you just set.
Use the "hostname" command to set the hostname on each host in your cluster. For
example:
hostname <fully.qualified.domain.name>
Edit the Network Configuration File
Using a text editor, open the network configuration file on every host and set the desired
network configuration for each host. For example:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Modify the HOSTNAME property to set the fully qualified domain name.
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=<fully.qualified.domain.name>
Configuring iptables
For Ambari to communicate during setup with the hosts it deploys to and manages, certain ports
must be open and available. The easiest way to do this is to temporarily disable iptables, as
follows:
chkconfig iptables off /etc/init.d/iptables stop
You can restart iptables after setup is complete. If the security protocols in your environment
prevent disabling iptables, you can proceed with iptables enabled, if all required ports are open
and available. For more information about required ports, see Configuring Network Port
Numbers.
Ambari checks whether iptables is running during the Ambari Server setup process. If iptables is
running, a warning displays, reminding you to check that required ports are open and available.
The Host Confirm step in the Cluster Install Wizard also issues a warning for each host that has
iptables running.
15
Mar 29, 2015
Disable SELinux and PackageKit and check the umask Value
You must temporarily disable SELinux for the Ambari setup to function. On each host in
your cluster,
setenforce 0
To permanently disable SELinux set SELINUX=disabled in

/etc/selinux/config This ensures that SELinux does not turn itself on after
you reboot the machine .
On an installation host running RHEL/CentOS with PackageKit installed, open

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf using a text editor. Make
the following change: enabled=0
PackageKit is not enabled by default on SLES or Ubuntu systems. Unless you have
specifically enabled PackageKit, you may skip this step for a SLES or Ubuntu
installation host.
UMASK (User Mask or User file creation MASK) sets the default permissions or base
permissions granted when a new file or folder is created on a Linux machine. Most Linux
distros set 022 as the default umask value. A umask value of 022 grants read, write,
execute permissions of 755 for new files or folders. A umask value of 027 grants read,
write, execute permissions of 750 for new files or folders. Ambari supports a umask
value of 022 or 027. For example, to set the umask value to 022, run the following
command as root on all hosts, vi /etc/profile then, append the following line:
umask 022
16
Mar 29, 2015
Using a Local Repository

Setting Up a Local Repository

Based on your Internet access, choose one of the following options:
No Internet Access
This option involves downloading the repository tarball, moving the tarball to the selected
mirror server in your cluster, and extracting to create the repository.
Temporary Internet Access

This option involves using your temporary Internet access to sync (using reposync) the
software packages to your selected mirror server and creating the repository.
Both options proceed in a similar, straightforward way. Setting up for each option presents some
key differences, as described in the following sections:
Getting Started Setting Up a Local Repository
Setting Up a Local Repository with No Internet Access
Setting Up a Local Repository with Temporary Internet Access
Getting Started Setting Up a Local Repository

To get started setting up your local repository, complete the following prerequisites:
Select an existing server in, or accessible to the cluster, that runs a supported operating
system.
Enable network access from all hosts in your cluster to the mirror server.
Ensure the mirror server has a package manager installed such as yum (RHEL /
CentOS / Oracle Linux), zypper (SLES), or apt-get (Ubuntu).
Optional: If your repository has temporary Internet access, and you are using
RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux as your OS, install yum utilities:
yum install yum-utils createrepo
Create an HTTP server.

o
On the mirror server, install an HTTP server (such as Apache httpd) using the
instructions provided here .
Activate this web server.
Ensure that any firewall settings allow inbound HTTP access from your cluster
nodes to your mirror server.
21

yum install ambari-server
When deploying HDP on a cluster having limited or no Internet access, you should
provide access to the bits using an alternative method.
Ambari Server by default uses an embedded PostgreSQL database. When you install the
Ambari Server, the PostgreSQL packages and dependencies must be available for install.
These packages are typically available as part of your Operating System repositories. Please
confirm you have the appropriate repositories available for the postgresql-server packages.
Set Up the Ambari Server

The ambari-server command manages the setup process. Run the following command on
the Ambari server host: You may append Setup Options to the command. ambari-server
setup
Respond to the following prompts:
If you have not temporarily disabled SELinux, you may get a warning. Accept the default
(y), and continue.
By default, Ambari Server runs under root. Accept the default (n) at the Customize
user account for ambari-server daemon prompt, to proceed as root. If you
want to create a different user to run the Ambari Server, or to assign a previously
created user, select y at the Customize user account for ambari-server
daemon prompt, then provide a user name.
If you have not temporarily disabled iptables you may get a warning. Enter y to
continue.
Select a JDK version to download. Enter 1 to download Oracle JDK 1.7.

By default, Ambari Server setup downloads and installs Oracle JDK 1.7 and the
accompanying Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Policy Files. If you plan to use a
different version of the JDK, see Setup Options for more information.
Accept the Oracle JDK license when prompted. You must accept this license to
download the necessary JDK from Oracle. The JDK is installed during the deploy phase.

Mar 29, 2015
Setup Options
The following table describes options frequently used for Ambari Server setup.
Option
Description
Specifies the JAVA_HOME path to use on the Ambari Server and all hosts in the cluster. By default
when you do not specify this option, Ambari Server setup downloads the Oracle JDK 1.7 binary and
accompanying Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Policy Files to /var/lib/ambari-server/resources.
Ambari Server then installs the JDK to /usr/jdk64.
-j (or -javahome)
Use this option when you plan to use a JDK other than the default Oracle JDK 1.7. See JDK
Requirements for more information on the supported JDKs. If you are using an alternate JDK, you must
manually install the JDK on all hosts and specify the Java Home path during Ambari Server setup. If
you plan to use Kerberos, you must also install the JCE on all hosts.
This path must be valid on all hosts. For example: ambari-server setup j
/usr/java/default
--jdbcdriver
Should be the path to the JDBC driver JAR file. Use this option to specify the location of the JDBC
driver JAR and to make that JAR available to Ambari Server for distribution to cluster hosts during
configuration. Use this option with the --jdbc-db option to specify the database type.
--jdbc-db
Specifies the database type. Valid values are: [postgres | mysql | oracle] Use this option with the --jdbcdriver option to specify the location of the JDBC driver JAR file.
-s (or -silent)
Setup runs silently. Accepts all default prompt values.
-v (or -verbose)
Prints verbose info and warning messages to the console during Setup.
-g (or -debug)
Start Ambari Server in debug mode
Next Steps
Start the Ambari Server

<your.ambari.server> is the name of your ambari server host. For example, a default
Ambari server host is located at http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:8080.
Log in to the Ambari Server using the default user name/password: admin/admin. You
can change these credentials later.
For a new cluster, the Ambari install wizard displays a Welcome page from which you

From the Ambari Welcome page, choose Launch Install Wizard.
Name Your Cluster
In Name your cluster, type a name for the cluster you want to create. Use no white
spaces or special characters in the name.
Choose Next.
Select Stack
The Service Stack (the Stack) is a coordinated and tested set of HDP components. Use a radio
button to select the Stack version you want to install. To install an HDP 2x stack, select the HDP
2.2, HDP 2.1, or HDP 2.0 radio button.
36
Mar 29, 2015
Expand Advanced Repository Options to select the Base URL of a repository from which Stack
software packages download. Ambari sets the default Base URL for each repository, depending
on the Internet connectivity available to the Ambari server host, as follows:
For an Ambari Server host having Internet connectivity, Ambari sets the repository Base
URL for the latest patch release for the HDP Stack version. For an Ambari Server having
NO Internet connectivity, the repository Base URL defaults to the latest patch release
version available at the time of Ambari release.
You can override the repository Base URL for the HDP Stack with an earlier patch
release if you want to install a specific patch release for a given HDP Stack version. For
example, the HDP 2.1 Stack will default to the HDP 2.1 Stack patch release 7, or HDP2.1.7. If you want to install HDP 2.1 Stack patch release 2, or HDP-2.1.2 instead, obtain
the Base URL from the HDP Stack documentation, then enter that location in Base URL.
If you are using a local repository, see Using a Local Repository for information about
configuring a local repository location, then enter that location as the Base URL instead
of the default, public-hosted HDP Stack repositories.
37

Install Options
In order to build up the cluster, the install wizard prompts you for general information about how
you want to set it up. You need to supply the FQDN of each of your hosts. The wizard also
needs to access the private key file you created in Set Up Password-less SSH. Using the host
names and key file information, the wizard can locate, access, and interact securely with all
hosts in the cluster.
Use the Target Hosts text box to enter your list of host names, one per line. You can
use ranges inside brackets to indicate larger sets of hosts. For example, for
host01.domain through host10.domain use host[01-10].domain
If you are deploying on EC2, use the internal Private DNS host names.
If you want to let Ambari automatically install the Ambari Agent on all your hosts using
SSH, select Provide your SSH Private Key and either use the Choose File
button in the Host Registration Information section to find the private key file
that matches the public key you installed earlier on all your hosts or cut and paste the
key into the text box manually.
If you are using IE 9, the Choose File button may not appear. Use the text box to
cut and paste your private key manually.
Fill in the user name for the SSH key you have selected. If you do not want to use root
, you must provide the user name for an account that can execute sudo without entering
a password.
If you do not want Ambari to automatically install the Ambari Agents, select Perform
manual registration. For further information, see Installing Ambari Agents
Manually.
38
Mar 29, 2015
Choose Register and Confirm to continue.
Confirm Hosts
Confirm Hosts prompts you to confirm that Ambari has located the correct hosts for your
cluster and to check those hosts to make sure they have the correct directories, packages, and
processes required to continue the install.
If any hosts were selected in error, you can remove them by selecting the appropriate
checkboxes and clicking the grey Remove Selected button. To remove a single host, click the
small white Remove button in the Action column.
At the bottom of the screen, you may notice a yellow box that indicates some warnings were
encountered during the check process. For example, your host may have already had a copy of
wget or curl. Choose Click here to see the warnings to see a list of what was
checked and what caused the warning. The warnings page also provides access to a python
script that can help you clear any issues you may encounter and let you run Rerun Checks.
If you are deploying HDP using Ambari 1.4 or later on RHEL 6.5 you will likely see
Ambari Agents fail to register with Ambari Server during the Confirm Hosts step
in the Cluster Install wizard. Click the Failed link on the Wizard page to display
the Agent logs. The following log entry indicates the SSL connection between the
Agent and Server failed during registration:
INFO 2014-04-02 04:25:22,669 NetUtil.py:55 - Failed to connect to
https://<ambari-server>:8440/cert/ca due to [Errno 1] _ssl.c:492:
error:100AE081:elliptic curve
routines:EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name:unknown group
For more information about this issue, see the Ambari Troubleshooting Guide.
When you are satisfied with the list of hosts, choose Next.
Choose Services
Based on the Stack chosen during Select Stack, you are presented with the choice of Services
to install into the cluster. HDP Stack comprises many services. You may choose to install any
other available services now, or to add services later. The install wizard selects all available
services for installation by default.
Choose none to clear all selections, or choose all to select all listed services.
Choose or clear individual checkboxes to define a set of services to install now.
After selecting the services to install now, choose Next.
39
Mar 29, 2015
Assign Masters
The Ambari install wizard assigns the master components for selected services to appropriate
hosts in your cluster and displays the assignments in Assign Masters. The left column shows
services and current hosts. The right column shows current master component assignments by
host, indicating the number of CPU cores and amount of RAM installed on each host.
To change the host assignment for a service, select a host name from the drop-down
menu for that service.
To remove a ZooKeeper instance, click the green minus icon next to the host address
you want to remove.
When you are satisfied with the assignments, choose Next.
Assign Slaves and Clients

The Ambari installation wizard assigns the slave components (DataNodes, NodeManagers, and
RegionServers) to appropriate hosts in your cluster. It also attempts to select hosts for installing
the appropriate set of clients.
Use all or none to select all of the hosts in the column or none of the hosts, respectively.
If a host has a red asterisk next to it, that host is also running one or more master
components. Hover your mouse over the asterisk to see which master components are
on that host.
Fine-tune your selections by using the checkboxes next to specific hosts.

As an option you can start the HBase REST server manually after the install
process is complete. It can be started on any host that has the HBase Master or the
Region Server installed. If you attempt to start it on the same host as the Ambari
server, however, you need to start it with the -p option, as its default port is 8080
and that conflicts with the Ambari Web default port.
/usr/lib/hbase/bin/hbase-daemon.sh start rest -p
<custom_port_number>
When you are satisfied with your assignments, choose Next.

Mar 29, 2015
Customize Services
Customize Services presents you with a set of tabs that let you manage configuration
settings for HDP components. The wizard sets reasonable defaults for each of the options here,
but you can use this set of tabs to tweak those settings. You are strongly encouraged to do so,
as your requirements may be slightly different. Pay particular attention to the directories
suggested by the installer.
To prevent out-of-memory errors during the install, at the Customize Services step in the Cluster
Install wizard browse to Hive > hive-site.xml, then modify the following configuration
settings:
Property Name
Purpose
Default Value Required Value
fs.hdfs.impl.disable.cache Disable HDFS filesystem cache False
true
fs.file.impl.disable.cache Disable local filesystem cache
true
False
For the HDFSServicesConfigsGeneral configuration property, make sure to enter an

integer value, in bytes, that sets the HDFS maximum edit log size for checkpointing. A typical
value is 500000000.
Hover your cursor over each of the properties to see a brief description of what it does. The
number of tabs you see is based on the type of installation you have decided to do. A typical
installation has at least ten groups of configuration properties and other related options, such as
database settings for Hive/HCat and Oozie, admin name/password, and alert email for Nagios.
The install wizard sets reasonable defaults for all properties. You must provide database
passwords for the Hive, Nagios, and Oozie services, the Master Secret for Knox, and a valid
email address to which system alerts will be sent. Select each service that displays a number
highlighted red. Then, fill in the required field on the Service Config tab. Repeat this until the red
flags disappear.
For example, Choose Hive. Expand the Hive Metastore section, if necessary. In Database
Password, provide a password, then retype to confirm it, in the fields marked red and "This is
required."

Customizing HDP Services.
After you complete Customizing Services, choose Next.
