1) Navigate to "/etc/yum.repos.d"

a) Check if there are any other HDP repositories present other than current version and target version repos.

b) Remove all other HDP repositories from "/etc/yum.repos.d" directory.

c) Run "yum clean all"

d) retry the installation from Ambari UI.

2) Manually run "yum info <package name>" on the node and verify the package information is being listed within expected timeframe.

a) If response from yum is slow, please check the "load average" on the node using "top" command.

b) If the load average is high, that could cause the system to slow down and hence yum commands to hang.

c) Please identify the cause using ‘Sysstat’ Utilities.

3) Increase package installation timeout.

a) Login to Ambari server terminal session.

b) vi /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties

c) Increase the timeout value for "agent.package.install.task.timeout".

d) Run "ambari-server restart"
