Step 7: Set Up a Cluster Using the Wizard

After setting up the Cloudera Manager database, start Cloudera Manager Server, and log in to the Cloudera Manager Admin Console:

  1. Start Cloudera Manager Server:
    sudo service cloudera-scm-server start
  2. Wait several minutes for the Cloudera Manager Server to start. To observe the startup process, run sudo tail -f /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log on the Cloudera Manager Server host. If the Cloudera Manager Server does not start, see Troubleshooting Installation Problems.
  3. In a web browser, go to http://<server_host>:7180, where <server_host> is the FQDN or IP address of the host where the Cloudera Manager Server is running.

    The login screen for Cloudera Manager Admin Console displays.

  4. Log into Cloudera Manager Admin Console. The default credentials are:

    Username: admin

    Password: admin

    Cloudera Manager does not support changing the admin username for the installed account. You can change the password using Cloudera Manager after you run the installation wizard. Although you cannot change the admin username, you can add a new user, assign administrative privileges to the new user, and then delete the default admin account.

  5. After you log in, the End User License Terms and Conditions page displays. Read the terms and conditions and then check the box labeled Yes, I accept the End User License Terms and Conditions. to accept them. Click Continue, and the installation wizard launches.

The following sections guide you through each step of the installation wizard:

Choose Cloudera Manager Edition

From the Welcome to Cloudera Manager page, you can select the edition of Cloudera Manager to install and, optionally, install a license:

  1. Choose which edition to install:
    • Cloudera Express, which does not require a license, but provides a limited set of features.
    • Cloudera Enterprise Enterprise Data Hub Edition Trial, which does not require a license, but expires after 60 days and cannot be renewed.
    • Cloudera Enterprise with one of the following license types:
      • Basic Edition
      • Flex Edition
      • Enterprise Data Hub Edition
    If you choose Cloudera Express or Cloudera Enterprise Enterprise Data Hub Edition Trial, you can upgrade the license at a later time. See Managing Licenses.
  2. If you elect Cloudera Enterprise, install a license:
    1. Click the Select License File field.
    2. Go to the location of your license file, click the file, and click Open.
    3. Click Upload.
  3. Information is displayed indicating what the CDH installation includes. At this point, you can click the Support drop-down menu to access online Help or the Support Portal.
  4. Click Continue to proceed with the installation.

Welcome

The Welcome page lists the software that will be installed. Click Continue to proceed with the installation.

Specify Hosts

Choose which hosts will run CDH and other managed services

  1. To enable Cloudera Manager to automatically discover hosts on which to install CDH and managed services, enter the cluster hostnames or IP addresses. You can also specify hostname and IP address ranges. For example:
    Range Definition Matching Hosts
    10.1.1.[1-4] 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4
    host[1-3].example.com host1.example.com, host2.example.com, host3.example.com
    host[07-10].company.com host07.example.com, host08.example.com, host09.example.com, host10.example.com

    You can specify multiple addresses and address ranges by separating them with commas, semicolons, tabs, or blank spaces, or by placing them on separate lines. Use this technique to make more specific searches instead of searching overly wide ranges. Only scans that reach hosts running SSH will be selected for inclusion in your cluster by default. You can enter an address range that spans over unused addresses and then clear the nonexistent hosts later in the procedure, but wider ranges require more time to scan.

  2. Click Search. If there are a large number of hosts on your cluster, wait a few moments to allow them to be discovered and shown in the wizard. If the search is taking too long, you can stop the scan by clicking Abort Scan. You can modify the search pattern and repeat the search as many times as you need until you see all of the expected hosts.

    Cloudera Manager scans hosts by checking for network connectivity. If there are some hosts where you want to install services that are not shown in the list, make sure you have network connectivity between the Cloudera Manager Server host and those hosts, and that firewalls and SE Linux are not blocking access.

  3. Verify that the number of hosts shown matches the number of hosts where you want to install services. Clear host entries that do not exist or where you do not want to install services.
  4. Click Continue.

    The Select Repository screen displays.

Select Repository

  Important: You cannot install software using both parcels and packages in the same cluster.
  1. Select the repository type to use for the installation. In the Choose Method section select one of the following:
    • Use Parcels (Recommended)

      A parcel is a binary distribution format containing the program files, along with additional metadata used by Cloudera Manager. Parcels are required for rolling upgrades. For more information, see Parcels.

    • Use Packages

      A package is a standard binary distribution format that contains compiled code and meta-information such as a package description, version, and dependencies. Packages are installed using your operating system package manager.

  2. Select the version of CDH to install. If you selected Use Parcels and you do not see the version you want to install, click the More Options button to add the repository URL for your version. After adding the repository, click Save Changes and wait a few seconds for the version to appear. If your Cloudera Manager host uses an HTTP proxy, click the Proxy Settings button to configure your proxy.
      Note: Cloudera Manager only displays CDH versions it can support. If an available CDH version is too new for your Cloudera Manager version, it is not displayed.
    1. If you selected Use Packages, and the version you want to install is not listed, you can select Custom Repository to specify a repository that contains the desired version.
  3. If you selected Use Parcels, specify any Additional Parcels you want to install.
  4. Select the specific release of the Cloudera Manager Agent you want to install on your hosts. You can choose either the version that matches the Cloudera Manager Server you are currently using or specify a different version in a custom repository. If you opted to use custom repositories for installation files, you can provide a GPG key URL that applies for all repositories.
  5. Click Continue.

The Accept JDK License page displays.
