CDP Installation on a Server where CDH is installed already.

Marks_08 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:21:42 GMT

Hello Cloudera Community,

I was wondering if is it a good practice to install a CDP in a server where I installed CDH previously?
Is it something achievable?
If yes, which would be the considerations that I need to take care of?

Any advice?

Thanks!!

Hello @Marks_08 ,

Thank you for reaching out on community

The good practice would be to install on a fresh OS but yes if we do proper un-installation and cleanup of current CDH installation then it should be good for new installation of CDP

Let me know if you have any further queries on this
