Please make sure that you do ssh to Sandbox as following and then try the hdfs commands: (On port 2222) password "hadoop"

# ssh root@localhost -p 2222
root@localhost's password: hadoop

.

Which Sandbox version is it? Can you open the "http://localhost:4200" web terminal?

i did ssh root@localhost, however the web terminal you mentioned has worked. Now am able to run hdfs commands.

Can you please help me with starting HDFS in ambari.

Set your hadoop path in .bashrc.
