Hi 

I want to install latest CDP private cloud to our environment.

Do we need to have internet access in the CDP nodes for the license activation ?  (1 year support license  )


Thanks & Regards

Hi @rahuledavalath ,

 

Generally, having internet access on the nodes where you are installing CDP Private Cloud simply saves you a few manual steps. However, it is absolutely acceptable to have nodes without internet and do an installation on "air-gapped" environment (e.g. see here: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdp-private-cloud-experiences/1.3.3/installation/topics/cdppvc-installatio...)

 

As for license activation, there is no need for internet access either. The license you get from Cloudera is a text file. As long as you upload it to Cloudera Manager in the appropriate installation step, there is no internet validation that needs to happen. Everything is self-contained on your hosts.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Alex
