Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you run these 4 commands on the Ambari server, is there a specific reason that you are installing an old HDP 2.3 version when you have HDP 2.6

# yum erase ambari-server 

# yum clean all 

# yum repolist 

# yum install -y ambari-server 

Please revert

Hi Geoffrey,

Thank you for your quick response and time. I ran the below commands and tried setting up amber_server and ran into same issue. Please find attached the steps i did and the error.ambari-server-setup-issue.txt

I am trying to setup a lab environment with similar versions as Production to make a look alike to give another platform to test before deploying to production.

But we are planning to upgrade Ambari from 2.5.0.3 to 2.5.2.0 and HDP to 2.6.1.0.

What is the best way to remove old HDP repos - Do you recommend using yum erase or yum remove ?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and looking forward to your help.

Thanks,

Abhishek

Can you tell me the Type and OS version,

I want to quickly reproduce your steps with Ambari 2.5.0.3 and HDP-2.3.4.0 175 can you maybe send the links you used for the downloads.

Hi Geoffrey,

Here are the server details of the virtual machine on which I am trying to install ambari. I also attached the additional processor, memory and disk information.

Node : Virtual Machine

Cores (CPU): 4 (4)Disk:

Memory: 23.46GB

Operating System

$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9 (Santiago)

$ uname -a Linux hdplabambari 2.6.32-696.3.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 20 11:30:02 EDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Just an overview - I requested my Devops team for a 10 node virtual machine all with the close configuration.

This is a new virtual machine and the yum repos that are listed when I type - yum repolist are below. I think the HDP and HDP utils are put in by chef on this node. I didnt download the HDP and HDP utils. I only downloaded the ambari repo.

HDP HDP Version - HDP-2.3.4.0

HDP-UTILS HDP Utils Version - HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.20

ambari ambari-2.5.0.3

To download Ambari Repo i used this Link -

wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/2.x/updates/2.5.0.3/ambari.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

Please let me konw if i can provide any further info.

FYI - Currently there is nothing on this 10 virtual machines. I am planning to build a Hortonworks Hadoop cluster with this 10 virtual nodes. As part of it i started with the ambari server setup on one node and ran into the above issues. Thank you for all your help.

Thanks,

Abhishek

I have just completed a single node installation with your current Ambari /HDP versions. All went successfully I have attached the documentation and screenshots of the cluster creation.
Unfortunately, we usually, ignore obvious steps that can cost us time and frustration, please validate my steps against yours. I used the Mysql database and not the embedded Postgres for Ambari, hive, oozie, and ranger backend DB's.
