Hello, We're running RedHat 6.4 on 2 of our nodes. We've installed the new Cloudera Manager 5.5.0 and we've been trying to create a cluster and add a first node to it (node is initially clean of any Cloudera component). Unfortunately, during the cluster installation, Cloudera Manager gets stuck every time at :   Installation failed. Failed to receive heartbeat from agent. Ensure that the host's hostname is configured properly. Ensure that port 7182 is accessible on the Cloudera Manager Server (check firewall rules). Ensure that ports 9000 and 9001 are not in use on the host being added. Check agent logs in /var/log/cloudera-scm-agent/ on the host being added. (Some of the logs can be found in the installation details). If Use TLS Encryption for Agents is enabled in Cloudera Manager (Administration -> Settings -> Security), ensure that /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini has use_tls=1 on the host being added. Restart the corresponding agent and click the Retry link here.   We looked around and saw how this is usually caused by a misconfigured /etc/hosts file. So we edited ours on both Cloudera Manager and the new node, did a service network restart as well as service cloudera-scm-server restart but it didn't work either. Here's what the /etc/hosts file looks like :   127.0.0.1 localhost 10.186.80.86 domain.node2.fr.net host 10.186.80.105 domain.node1.fr.net mgrnode   We also tried some cleaning up before relaunching the cluster creation by deleting scm_prepare_node.* and .scm_prepare_node.lock. We looked at service cloudera-scm-agent status on the new node after each installation fail as well, and we noticed that the service isn't running (even when we do a service restart, the result is still the same)   service cloudera-scm-agent start Starting cloudera-scm-agent: [ OK ] service cloudera-scm-agent status cloudera-scm-agent dead but pid file exists   Here's the agent logs on the new node side :   tail -f /var/log/cloudera-scm-agent/cloudera-scm-agent.log [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO Agent Logging Level: INFO [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO No command line vars [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO Missing database jar: /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar (normal, if you're not using this database type) [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO Missing database jar: /usr/share/java/oracle-connector-java.jar (normal, if you're not using this database type) [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO Found database jar: /usr/share/cmf/lib/postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar [30/Nov/2015 15:07:27 +0000] 24529 MainThread agent INFO Agent starting as pid 24529 user cloudera-scm(420) group cloudera-scm(207).
