Not able to open CDH 5 default quickstart VM

Not able to open CDH 5 default VM which requires min 4GB of RAM.

I'm using Virtualbox, quick start VM on desktop. After installing can Enterpirse & Express icons to launch but do not see to launch CDH 5 default VM .

My machine has total 8GB RAM and assigned 5GB RAM to VM so can't use Enterpirse & Express. Need to use default VM which reuires only 4GB.

 

I have donwloaded quickstart-vm-5.10.0.-0-virtualbox.

 
CDH and Cloudera Manager Version RAM Required by VM

CDH 5 (default) 4+ GiB*
Cloudera Express 8+ GiB*
Cloudera Enterprise (trial) 10+ GiB*

 

Thanks in advance!

if you are able to bring up the cloudera manager then it is a good sign there is no such thing as default eithe you use cloudera manager express edition or enterprise edition , both comes with the preconfigured resource threshold precentage that it will check to see if the nodes are runining with adequate resouce , since you are accomdating it with a little RAM it is showing the health as bad . You have to manually go to the each servicec in the Cloudera manager UI change the resource threshold accordingly for example hdfs disk space , namenode heap size,secondarynamenode heap size , cloudera management's database free space , event server heap size etc . this is really going to be pain in the back Or as suggested you can manual manage the CDH by totally avoiding the cloudera manager and deploy Single Linux Node in Pseudo-distributed Mode .

Sorry, I misread the question. Since I don't use the QuickStart VM very often let me ask around. My recollection is that for the default (no Cloudera Manager) you start working in the terminal. 

 

A quick note from the Getting Started tab on the download page:

 

Accounts

Once you launch the VM, you are automatically logged in as the cloudera user. The account details are:

  • username: cloudera
  • password: cloudera

The cloudera account has sudo privileges in the VM. The root account password is cloudera.

The root MySQL password (and the password for other MySQL user accounts) is also cloudera.

Hue and Cloudera Manager use the same credentials.

Thank you very much for your detail reply.

But I would like to launch 'default' which required 4GB RAM not express.

Because express version requires 8GB and my virtual box has max 7GB.

 

How to launch default VM?

===============================

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sudo /home/cloudera/cloudera-manager --express

WARNING: It is highly recommended that you run Cloudera Express in a VM with
at least 8 GB of RAM.


You can override these checks by passing in the --force option,
e.g:

sudo /home/cloudera/cloudera-manager --force
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$
