CDP Cloudera Manager Fails to install Agents

jxerome — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:58:42 GMT

Hello,

I tried to install a trial CDP Cluster following the given procedure: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdp-private-cloud-base/latest/installation/topics/cdpdc-trial-installation.html

The Cloudera Manager used is https://archive.cloudera.com/cm7/7.4.4/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

The cluster deployment freezes when Cloudera Manager tries to deploy the agent to the nodes.
An unhelpfull error is reported.
Digging into this, it fails because passphraseConfirm is empty. But there is no passphraseConfirm field in the form. (See screen capture below)

My question is simple: did I miss anything ? How can I complete this ~~level~~ step ?

Context: Nodes are AWS instances with Ubuntu 20.04. User connect with a Key. I'm connected to the node through an SSH connection with port redirection of 7180 (this explains the localhost address)

Thank you for your help.

Hi @jxerome

I found the same issue with CDP version 7.4.4 , you can try installing the agent manually from the package manager

I hope this helps
