@Chaitanya D,

1) If you choose public repository , then all the rpms will be downloaded from the hortonworks public repository. If you choose local repository then you need to set up a local yum repo and put the tarball there and run a webserver to serve these tarball. This is generally used in a setup where network access is blocked to outside world. You can use public repo.

2) In the target hosts , you need to mention hostnames of all the nodes which are going to be as part of the cluster.

SSH private key is ssh key of the user running ambari-server.

3) No. Each machine is treated as a single node.

You need to setup password-less ssh before giving the details in #2 . Since you are using a single node you do the below

#sudo su ---> to become root user
#ssh-keygen -----> generate the ssh keys
# cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys  ---> for password-less ssh
#cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa ----> copy the output and put it in SSH private key in UI
# cat /etc/hostname ----> copy and put in target hosts

Thanks,

Aditya

Thanks Aditya, I have chosen public repository with ubuntu 14.

In Install options:

given host as "localhost" and then added ssh private key (ssh/id_rsa file) and then ssh username: root, ssh port: 22.

But the cluster setup fails with message:

==========================
Creating target directory...
==========================

Command start time 2017-12-01 23:32:41

Permission denied (publickey,password).
SSH command execution finished
host=localhost, exitcode=255
Command end time 2017-12-01 23:32:41

ERROR: Bootstrap of host localhost fails because previous action finished with non-zero exit code (255)
ERROR MESSAGE: Permission denied (publickey,password).

STDOUT: 
Permission denied (publickey,password).

any suggestions please.

@Chaitanya D,

Oops!! There was a typo in my command above.It should be id_rsa.pub and not id_rsa Please run this command.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys 
### to verify passwordless ssh run below command
ssh root@localhost --> should login without asking for passwordl

Make these changes and run the Register step again in Ambari GUI.

Thanks,

Aditya

I can login to ssh root@chaithu without password after performing the above said steps.

So given Host: localhost and chaithu (also tried giving localhost alone)

At ssh private key: choosen browse and given id_rsa

at ssh user name: chaithu (also tried with root)

ssh port number: 22

Is these details correct. As i am facing below failed error:

==========================
Creating target directory...
==========================

Command start time 2017-12-02 00:02:06

@Chaitanya D,

For the hostname : You can give either localhost or chaitu

For SSH private key : you should give SSH private of root

sudo su
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa  --> This is the private key for root

ssh username : root (not chaitu)

Can you please paste the complete log. There is no error on the log above.
