Hi mshirley, No, don't reinstall your OS, this should be a fixable problem. Parcel symlinks are usually created when you activate or deactivate the parcel. The default priority, however, is intentionally kept low. It's possible at some point, an alternative got created (manually by someone, or a by bug) at a higher priority, or, deactivation for a previous parcel was not done properly which may have left a lingering alternative. If I were you, I'd ensure all deactivate all CDH parcels. Then, I'd look at the alternatives and see if there is a symlink from /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH -> /opt/cloudera/parcels/ exists. If so, it should NOT exist. You should go ahead, and deactivate that alternative. Ensure no such alternatives (and hence symlinks exist). Once you have done that, activate the parcel that you want via the CM UI. If you run into a similar issue again, please do provide the steps you undertook to reproduce the situation. Sorry about the inconvenience. Mark
