The installation was successful at the end, so there should be something definitely wrong with either your OS or packages

Enjoy!!!

Hi Geoffrey,

Thank you very much for taking time and testing the installation. I have gone through all of your screenshots. This is what I am planning to do but I am running into issues at the very beginning of the installation of Ambari Server. I will further research into the issue I am running into. Will update you if I find anything.

Thank you very much for your time and fast response.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks

Can you share the document you are using this cluster install, maybe I could see something that you aint't seeing 🙂 Are you using a satellite server for repos? Can you share the contents of your ambari,hdp and hdp-utils.repos??

I usually don't like to leave an issue un resolved!!

Hi Geoffrey,

Let me give you a little overview on how and where it all started.

Since we have only one Hadoop Cluster which started as a POC and later it was converted to Production environment , we didn't have a lower environment similar to production for testing. So I planned to standup a production like environment with 10 nodes.

I requested for 10 new virtual machines with RHEL 6.9 from devops team at our organization. They provided me 10 new vm's.Brand new vm's with no applications running on it. The devops team did one additional step on the new vm's - enabled chef on the new vm's. Upon the chef-client run it downloaded the below HDP repos , I didn't download the HDP repos neither I used them. I only downloaded ambari repo using the below links

repo id repo name

HDP HDP Version - HDP-2.3.4.0

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

Ambari-2.5.0.3 Repo Download 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

I can stop the chef-client on the new vm's and remove the HDP repos. I want to setup a cluster with Ambari - 2.5.0.3 in the lab environment because currently we are running Ambari - 2.5.0.3 in production. We are planning to upgrade the Ambari version in production. Since I don't have a environment to test the upgrade , I wanted to setup the lab environment with the similar Ambari version in production and ran into ambari-setup issues.

The VM's doesn't have any HDP packages installed or distributed. The VM's are all new and having nothing related to HDP.

Please let me know if you need any further information or a webx session to look into it further.

Thanks
