Cannot erase old /opt/cloudera/parcels

[#1]

Hello,

We have problems with parcels in our PROD cluster (CDP Runtime 7.1.7), we tried to remove old parcels (CDH 6.3.3, CFM 1.0.1.0, CFM 1.1.0.0) on host dallas20
- After the manual delete, Cloudera Manager still shows some parcels with status Distributed.
- The parcel folders on disk are not correct now, probably because of the manual cleanup.
- Also, the cluster is slow and some services presents an error like this in Parcels tab on CM:
Error when distributing to dallas20.metromadrid.net: [Errno 20] Not a directory: /opt/cloudera/parcels/STREAMS_MESSAGING_MANAGER-2.1.0.2.0.1.0-2/meta/parcel.json
We need help with these points:
How can we clean the old parcels in a safe way so CM shows the correct status?
How to fix the error [Errno 20 Not a directory] and make parcel distribution work again?
Is there a supported procedure to reset parcel states in Cloudera Manager?

This problem is blocking us to free space in /opt/cloudera/parcels/ and manage parcels normally.

We are using CDP 7.1.7 (which is programmed to be upgraded at the end of semester) and CM 7.6.7.

Kind regards, Leidy

Hello @Leidy 

Thank you for reaching out to cloudera

Could you try the below steps

• Stop CM Agent

• Remove the parcels form /opt/cloudera/parcel-repo directory on CM node

• Remove broken parcel dirs & symlinks under /opt/cloudera/parcels/

• Clear parcel cache & .flood staging

• Ensure that on CM UI old parcles links are not present under CM UI >> Parcels >> Parcel configurations

• Restart Agent & CM Server

• Resync via CM UI → “Check for new parcels”

Let me know how it goes
