Add new host to cluster CDH without Web GUI

[#1]

Good day! We actively use software configuration management (SCM, for example saltstack, ansible, puppet/etc), and we decide add new host to cluster Cloudera hadoop through this system.

Our steps:

1. Add repo

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera-manager.list

deb https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/debian/jessie/amd64/cm/ jessie-cm5.13.0 contri

2. Install soft (cloudera-manager-daemons, cloudera-manager-agent)

3. Edit /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini

[General]
# Hostname of the CM server.
server_host=main.test.com

4. Start agent

After that we see that new host in cluster.

Also I use this doc - https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-13-x/topics/cm_mc_adding_hosts.html

for checking our steps in SCM.

But we run into some trouble

A. http://community.cloudera.com/t5/Cloudera-Manager-Installation/Bad-The-hostname-and-canonical-name-f... - there I wrote some description about our error

B. CDH version didn't show in web interface:

It is None

A and B issues aren't terrible, we can live with them

C. (blocking problem) We cann't add our recently host to any Service in Cloudera - any.

Some Service - Instances - Add Role Instance - Select Hosts - in appeared list didn't show our new hosts

(we add in this manner two hosts).

After all we remove this hosts from  cluster and added by hand through  web GUI and all OK.

During installation in web GUI I saw this:

Installing selected parcels - this step we didn't do through our SCM. Parcles in good and bad hosts:

bad_host# ls -lh /opt/cloudera/parcels
total 0

good_host#ls -lh /opt/cloudera/parcels
total 48K

Is there any way in GUI or something else download and install this parcels on "bad" host? (deploy parcels to host?) I found this item in GUI:

But I don't found any configuration how do this. Any idea?

May be we cann't add host to any service for some other cause?

In web GUI hosts show "OK" (we saw metrics about memory, interface, disk, etc), only warning that Parcels directory is empty

I think problem may be with this: we add new server to Cloudera Manager, but don't add new host to the Cluster.

Steps: Host - All Hosts - Actions for Selected. There are two options - Remove from Cluster, Remove from Cloudera Manager.

Hi @unix196,

I think you are right about the the host is not in the cluster. 

You may have hosts that are already "managed" but are not part of a cluster. You can have managed hosts that are not part of a cluster when you have added hosts to Cloudera Manager either through the Add Host wizard, or by manually installing the Cloudera Manager agent onto hosts where you have not install any other services. This will also be the case if you remove all services from a host so that it no longer is part of a cluster.

See more details about this in documentation here.

Thanks,

Li
