could not determine HDP version for component zookeepr-server by calling /usr/bin/hdp-select status

[#1]

Hi,

It's a multi-node cluster and while starting zookeeper in ambari UI on a server (server1), it's getting failed with below error. Zookeeper server is running on remaing servers.

Can any one please help me to resolve this issue?

This is saying that you're missing either a ZK file or ZK symlink. Can you post the output of

ls -l /usr/hdp/current | grep zookeeper
ls -l /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/bin

[#3]

[root@server1 Desktop]# ls -l /usr/hdp/current/ | grep zookeeper
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   31 May 12 23:15 zookeeper-client -> /usr/hdp/2.2.9.0-3393/zookeeper
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 12 23:30 zookeeper-server
[root@server1 Desktop]# ls -l /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/bin
ls: cannot access /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/bin: No such file or directory
[root@server1 Desktop]#

Wow ... that's a problem with the RPMs I think. Here's how to fix it:

rm -r /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server
ln -s /usr/hdp/2.2.9.0-3393/zookeeper /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server
