Registration with the server failed on EC2

moisseev_yan — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 10:12:45 GMT

I am very new to all this stuff, but as a learning exercise I am trying to set up 4-node ambari cluster on EC2. I have master node that has both agent and server installed and three nodes with agents, all running on centOS 6.

When I am trying to make a cluster using UI and manual host registration, all nodes except master fail with the following error:

Registering with the server...
Registration with the server failed.

Though I got agents running already and hosts set up, I tried using automatic registration with SSH and got more verbose error:

Hi @Jan Andreev,

I'm not exactly sure why you're seeing the issue with automatic registration, but if you're just trying to get things up and running manually, you can probably just modify the ambari-agent config files.

You manual setup step may have failed if the agents are not configured to point to the ambari-server instance in your cluster. You mentioned that the registration doesn't fail on the ambari-server node, and that makes sense, since the default hostname pointer is "localhost".

For manual configuration, you can just set this up in the ambari-agent config file, on Centos 6 it will be in:

/etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini

Just set the "hostname" property to be the DNS name for the node that has ambari-server running, and restart your ambari-agent instances.

Hope this helps!

Bob

Thanks @rnettleton, I got to similar solution while waiting for question to be moderated, but your answer definitely makes it clearer why it wasn't working!

You are running into AMBARI-14431. This should happen on the latest. Can you use the latest or update your script manually?

Check your .ini file on all the slaves/agents

/etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini

And then make sure your ports below are open on your MASTER

url_port=8440

secured_url_port=8441
