Ambari Installation on CentOS 7

Hello Manager
 
We are in the process of implementing a data lake solution for different systems for data ingestion, reporting and analytics purpose.
 
I tried implementing Hortonworks Ambari 2.7.4 on CentOS 7, on single node. There were quite a few technical challenges faced during several installation attempts.
I would like to know if your company offers Ambari installation plans, including pricing details.
 
Please provide the details about same, so we can analyse it and proceed further accordingly.
 
Thanks & Regards

@Harpreet_Singh 

That's a warning you should be able to continue but run the below on all the hosts in the cluster if it isn't a single node cluster

Use sudo if you don't have root access but permitted in the sudoers 

# yum -y install chrony
# systemctl enable chronyd
#  systemctl start chronyd

 

That should works

    Hi Shelton

     

    Thanks for the quick response. Infact I am trying to setup Hortonworks Ambari 2.7.4 on single node on a CentOS 7 machine, following the instructions in HW tutorials for ambari installation and administration

     

    However I am stuck with installing client services for some components namely hive,oozie, druid etc and ranger/rangerkms to be particular

    This time there is another issue, hosts not resolving during the initial steps.

     

    I am quite open to any Linux distribution/version you suggest, that works perfectly for installation and which HW ambari version is stable for it.

    Also wonder if there is one page document or pdf for complete installation and services setup process?

     

    Thanks & appreciate your help.
