Hi @Ramalinga  This is a frequently-asked question, and I think some clarification is in order. Cloudera never had a version of the Cloudera Quickstart VM based on CDH 6 publicly available.   The last publicly available version of the Cloudera Quickstart VM was based on CDH 5.13, which was old, outdated and in fact that version of CDH went out of support in the Fall of last year. Cloudera has never officially supported the QuickStart VM. The Cloudera Quickstart VM hasn't been available for download from Cloudera's website for some time now.   As far as preparing for the CCA-175 certification, Cloudera certification has never publicly provided any training VM for free download, as based on each exam's recommendation, Cloudera suggests users attend the offered Cloudera training courses (virtual or OnDemand) as preparation for exams. And of course, the exercise environments used in Cloudera classes are based on a much more up-to-date version of Cloudera's data platform than the last version of the QuickStart VM.   As far as a docker image, if you really must have a CDH-based image…well, I haven't looked at it recently, but as mentioned in this thread, you can try downloading a docker image of CDH from docker hub which, last time I checked, was still available publicly on https://hub.docker.com/r/cloudera/quickstart or simply run the below command to download this on docker enabled system: docker pull cloudera/quickstart According to the tags applied to the distribution available on docker hub, the last update was five (5) years ago. You might want to consider that before installing it.   If you're looking for a current data platform to install on premises, you can currently do so without a preexisting Cloudera subscription by downloading the Trial Version of CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform.     ...

@Vallanon,  You can always contact the Cloudera Sales Team via this web page to find out more about your subscription options.   I obviously don't know what you said or wrote when you contacted them in May, and I have not heard anything from anyone in Cloudera Sales regarding your inquiry, but if you indicated you were just looking for data platform software to "download and use for evaluation", then I am guessing that the person in sales who took up your request concluded that you would not need assistance since Cloudera's standard response to evaluation requests, the Trial Version of CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform, is available for download without any assistance from Cloudera Sales.     ...

Hi @Abhanshu  While we welcome your question, and it will remain visible here in the hope that some member of the Cloudera Community will answer it, you would be much more likely to obtain a suitable solution if you posted it to the appropriate MSDN Azure Forum for HDInsight.     ... View more

Hi @Sam_38  The simplest explanation is that you are now being required to submit credentials in order to add a new node because you have your Cloudera express installation configured to retrieve files from one of Cloudera's repositories.   This past February, Cloudera changed the download location and made CDH, including versions prior to 6.3.3, exclusively available from a private repository. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF. If your organization already has a valid Cloudera subscription, please do read that announcement in full, as there are links in it to documentation on how to upgrade your installation of Cloudera Manager to deal with the repository location change.   If you don't already have a valid Cloudera subscription, you now have two options: Acquire a valid Cloudera subscription. Remove your existing installation's dependency on Cloudera's repository for obtaining files when you add a node to the cluster. You can pursue the first option by contacting the Cloudera Sales Team to initiate the process of obtaining a subscription. The second option involves reconfiguring your installation of Cloudera manager to obtain files from a repository local to your site instead of Cloudera's, as discussed in this thread.     ...

No, we donot have a valid Cloudera subscription/license as of now because our organization is doing a POC. I got your point that we cannot upgrade from Cloudera manager 6.3.0 express version but after a failed upgradation, even if I have downgraded to 6.3.0 it is still showing the same error. If I check in the Cloudera_manager db, in config table CM_VERSION, it shows the version as 6.3.0. Is there any thing I can do to resolve the error. ... View more
