Can not add HDF 3.3.1 service in Ambari 2.7.3

ahra90_ko — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:39:00 GMT

I am trying to install HDF 3.3.1 (NIFI) to my existing HDP 3.1 cluster with Ambari 2.7.3. (https://supportmatrix.hortonworks.com/)

I have followed all the steps in the documentation (Installing HDF Services on an Existing HDP Cluster), installed HDF management pack, ambari server restart = yes but I still cannot add HDF services through Add Service Wizard. Nothing to choose in 'Choose Serivce' .. Also cannot find space to update HDF Base URL

Can someone help me with this issue.

Thanks.

@Ahra Ko

There is a step you missed, you should run the below,please adjust the HDF version to match

ambari-server install-mpack --mpack=/tmp/hdf-ambari-mpack-3.3.0.0-165.tar.gz --purge --verbose

After the restart of Ambari the Nifi service should be available

I think my mpack wasn't installed properly. So I uninstalled and reinstalled again. Now it is working fine.

I followed the steps from Derek's answer from the link below:
