Unable to Start Docker after Running cdsw init

pollylaw — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:29:14 GMT

After running command cdsw init, the following screen is printed out. Docker cannot be started. Is there any way to check up the problem? What cause docker cannot be started up?

You can see more information using:

journalctl -u docker

Please let us know what you find.

It appears your installation was interrupted. Please try `cdsw reset` followed by `cdsw init`.

I have tried many times to run "cdsw reset" and "cdsw init" but the result is the same.

The problem is fixed by finally creating a new VM with CDH 5.8 installed.
