can I have the parcels on NFS instead of remote URL?

[#1]

hi

can I have the parcels located on an FS so the installation will include a copy instead of downloading from a remote URL?

I believe it will be faster solution

this is for testing cluster environments

better still - can I copy the parcels to the /opt/cloudera/parcels myself - while I'm preparing the VM - will cdp know that the file is already there or do I need to update also the psql metadata db?

thanks

@doronve Both way will be fine. You can use either of them as per your convenience.

Hi @doronve, I believe you want to set up a local repository that does not need an internet connection? Please review this document for more information:

this is what I was looking for.

CM uses BitTorrent to distrubte parcels so it's already very efficient.

My recommendation would be to let CM do the work and not bother with trying to save yourself a few minutes.
