Untar failed with error code 2

[#1]

I am setting up the cluster for the first time uisng cloudera manager. Parcels are downloaded but while distributing parcles it is failing saying untar failed with return code 2

Thanks for the help!!

Hello Saikiran,

This normally means there is insufficient disk space in the parcel distribution location. By default this is in /opt/cloudera (/opt/cloudera/parcel-cache/ and /opt/cloudera/parcels/ specifically). Please ensure you have roughly 2-2.5x the size of the parcel available free in that path so the parcel can be distributed, then untar'd and set into place.

There is a Knowledgebase article that discusses this error message as well (with the same detail as above), which I'll link shortly.

Regards,

Is it possible to get this knowledgebase article?

I created a aws quick launch and I am trying to create and add a new node and getting this error.

Thanks

The disk appears to have plenty of space.

I'm in the same boat.  I have 512 GB of space provisioned per machine
