Hi Lunesa,

As you mentioned, you can use 1 server for Ambari Operation Server. 3 Servers for Master Services and 3 for DataNode and Node Manager.

If you are planning to setup HA for NameNode and Resource Manager and installing core Hadoop services then you can use a similar model, You can add one more server, in case if you need standalone Ambari views or server for all Hadoop clients.

I am planning to use below model to setup sandbox environment.

  • Server 1. Ambari Server
  • Server 2. Active NameNode, Standby Resource Manager, Journal Node, Zookeeper Server, ZKFailoverController.
  • Server 3. Standby NameNode, Active Resource Manager, History Server, App Timeline Server, Journal Node, Zookeeper Server, ZKFailoverController.
  • Server 4. HiveServe2, Hive Metastore, JournalNode, Zookeeper Server, WebHcat Server etc.
  • Server 5. DataNode, NodeManager and other slave components.
  • Server 6. DataNode, NodeManager and other slave components.
  • Server 7. DataNode, NodeManager and other slave components.
  • Server 8: Standalone Ambari Views Server and all Hadoop Clients (Clients like HDFS, Hive etc). (Additional Server)
