Ambari agent not starting after host clean up

pmj — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 06:19:10 GMT

Hi all,

I had to clean up a host which had ambari and HDP running. I deleted all repos, rpm packages, directories, users and all (may be missed a few 😞

Now when I try to install ambari-agent, it shows below messg (file exists ..) before completing installation.

Total download size: 20 M Installed size: 31 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: ambari-agent-2.2.2.0-460.x86_64.rpm | 20 MB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : ambari-agent-2.2.2.0-460.x86_64 1/1 ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_commons': File exists ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management': File exists ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_jinja2': File exists ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_simplejson': File exists ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management': File exists ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_jinja2': File exists Verifying : ambari-agent-2.2.2.0-460.x86_64 1/1 Installed: ambari-agent.x86_64 0:2.2.2.0-460 Complete!

And when I try to restart ambari-agent, it is not starting ... can somebody help me what to do ...

@PJ

You are getting the following error which indicates that the ambari agents python libraries are having either version mismatch or the missing package.

 <module> import ambari_simplejson as json ImportError: No module named ambari_simplejson

- So you should uninstall ambari-agent

- Then clean the following packages form that host. This time you will need to make sure that the following directories are cleaned properly.

rm -f /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_commons
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_jinja2

rm -rf /var/lib/ambari-agent/
rm -rf /usr/lib/ambari-agent/

- Now install the ambari-agent again
