I installed cdh5.0 follow 'Installation Path B - Manual Installation Using Cloudera Manager Packages'

When i intalled oracle-j2sdk1.7-1.7.0 cloudera-manager-daemons-5.1.2 cloudera-manager-server-5.1.2 and cloudera-manager-server-db-2-5.1.2 in my linux6.4(64bit),on  Database Setup page,i got an error like this:

what can i do ?

[#2]

how to set java_home ?  

who can help me ?

[#3]

you can set "JAVA_HOME" in /etc/defaults/cloudera-scm-server

add to the end of the file

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55

[#4]

Thank you for your help 

I set the java_home in /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server with 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55-cloudera',but when click 'test connection' in Add Cloudera ManagementService with browser,i got the same error 'Unexpected error. Unable to verify database connection.', and the /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log file show like this:

INFO [JvmPauseMonitor:debug.JvmPauseMonitor@236] Detected pause in JVM or host machine (e.g. a stop the world GC, or JVM not scheduled): paused approximately 1024ms: no GCs detected.

Here is the java_home configure show:

Is there something wrong? any how can i do?

OK so realize NONE of this should be necessary, and this is not normal to need to configure things this way.  It is not necessary to have to set JAVA_HOME.

I think we need to focus on this part of the message, rather than the JAVA_HOME message which appears to be a false-positive error.

How much memory is configured for your VM you are attempting to run things on?  How much physical memory does the system you are running the VM on have?

It appears the 1.7 openJDK has been installed as well, which is alongside of the oracle JDK on the system.

What do you get for the following commands on the system:

# ls -l /usr/java

# yum list installed "*jdk*"

Thanks

Thank you for your reply!

The memory is configured for my VM i'm attempting to run things on is 512MB, and physical memory the system i'm running the VM on is 8GB.

The following commands on the system get like this:

# ls -l /usr/java

total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 4096 Sep 19 18:05 jdk1.7.0_55-cloudera

# yum list installed "*jdk*"

Ok at this point I would suggest reviewing the "requirements" section, here.

http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM5/latest/Cloudera-Manager-Installat...

Also realize you need memory for CDH, so running the VM at a minimum of 4GB memory is necessary.

The issue you are seeing is because there is not enough memory, Cloudera Manager and CDH are memory intensive applicaitons.   The JAVA_HOME error message you are seeing is due to this (the message is a false indication of the problem, as I stated in my previous note.

[#9]

Thank you very much!

I set the memory of VM to 4GB,but i got the same error.

[#10]

Need i reinstall the centos system?

[#11]

No, that should not be necessary. Are there error messages in the cloudera manager logs? Exceptions maybe?
