Unable to complete Add Host Wizard on 6.2 Manager after configuring first host.

Question

I have gone through the installation procedure several times trying to create 3 hosts at once but went back and decided to get the first host up. This first host is up and I am trying to add additonal hosts. On the wizard, Heardbeat is working, on the Install Parcels screen it shows CDH 6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373 being downloaded/distributed/upacked/activated.

The issue is on the Host Inspector.

1 hosts are reporting with NONE CDH version

Also, none of the cloudera system accounts have been created on the new host.
i.e. The user hdfs is missing on the following host

The agent seems to be running and it shows up as Managed when you show all hosts in the Manager.
[root@usnj1cldrawrkr2 ~]# systemctl | grep cloudera
cloudera-scm-agent.service loaded active running Cloudera Manager Agent Service

I was able to get one other host configured correctly by manually installing and then removing the cloudera services and then pushing out again with the host wizard, but no luck again. Any ideas?

Could you share your CM agent logs snippets from right after the parcel activated and the host inspector showed the missing components/users?

The users are typically created (if they do not pre-exist) by the Cloudera Manager agent when the parcel is activated for the first time.

It is possible something may have gone wrong at that step, so having the agent logs will be helpful to troubleshoot it.
