can I have the parcels on NFS instead of remote URL?

doronve — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:41:45 GMT

can I have the parcels located on an FS so the installation will include a copy instead of downloading from a remote URL?

I believe it will be faster solution

this is for testing cluster environments

better still - can I copy the parcels to the /opt/cloudera/parcels myself - while I'm preparing the VM - will cdp know that the file is already there or do I need to update also the psql metadata db?

thanks

@doronve Both way will be fine. You can use either of them as per your convenience.

Hi @doronve, I believe you want to set up a local repository that does not need an internet connection? Please review this document for more information:

CM uses BitTorrent to distrubte parcels so it's already very efficient.

My recommendation would be to let CM do the work and not bother with trying to save yourself a few minutes.
