Hi GaryS,   Thanks for following up that you were able to resolve your issue!   For others, to clarify: If you change the username and password for Cloudera Manager (for example, from the default admin/admin), then you do need to update Altus Director with the new credentials. That way, Altus Director can continue to work with Cloudera Manager to do things like add new hosts to a cluster. There is an option in the dropdown for a deployment in Altus Director to update the credentials.   In case there is still a problem in communications, a workaround is to set Cloudera Manager (and Altus Director) back to admin/admin, then do what you need to do, and then switch Cloudera Manager back. There is in fact one scenario in Altus Director where this is necessary, which we're working on fixing.   To add to what Asif said about the ways to add a new cluster node through Director: Besides the UI, you can use the Altus Director server API as well. The UI is just a special client for the API, anyway. Visit http://yourdirectorhost.example:7189/api-console/ for an interactive (Swagger) console to experiment. You can also try using the Java or Python SDKs, available on GitHub.   https://github.com/cloudera/director-sdk ... View more

@Baris Glad you got it working. With Director version 2.4+ you actually don't need to use a bootstrap script as shown in my previous example. You can just specify the CSD URL on the conf file and Director will automatically download and place it in '/opt/cloudera/csd/'.   See the documentation here: https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/director/latest/topics/director_non-cdh_products_custom_descriptors.html#concept_e2y_dpj_4z ...

Glad you got it working.   Just to note something like this did work for me for hvm instance types:   hvm=c5.large,\ c5.xlarge,\ c5.2xlarge,\ c5d.2xlarge   There should be a ec2.virtualizationmappings.properties.example file you can look at, modify as an example. ... View more

Hi, As I am trying to install streamset beside via cloudera director, I am trying to have all my nodes on Centos 7.3. But I could not see a parcel for centos in streamst repository. So if I point my config file to the following adrees, do you think I will have a problem?   "https://archives.streamsets.com/datacollector/latest/parcel/"   What do you suggest? as I would like to have all my machines with the same image, should I go with other options like RHEL 7? I really appriciate your response.   Regards Armen   ... View more
