@Benjamin Wiese Have you solved this problem? I ran into exactly the same thing on HDP Sandbox 2.6 ... View more

@Jay SenSharma I finally got it to work, but it seems that the script or container have problems. Please help me sort it out. Per instructions I added script start-sandbox-hdp.sh to /etc/rc.local However it does not look like the script automatically runs upon instance start. I know that because there is no ssh access to port 2222. When I try to run this script manually it complains that docker container named sandbox-hdp is already running. When I remove this container using: #docker rm <container_name>, the script runs fine except for warning about ambari-agent. Then I ssh to root@localhost -p 2222 and restart the agent: ambari-agent restart Then everything works fine. ... View more

@Jay SenSharma No, i am unable to connect to either port 8888 or 8080 with localhost ... View more

@Jay SenSharma Turns out that there was something wrong with the docker. When i removed the container and reran: start_sandbox-hdp.sh, i was able to ssh into port 2222. Both ambari-server and ambari-agent commands are now working: [root@sandbox ~]# ambari-server status Using python /usr/bin/python Ambari-server status Ambari Server running Found Ambari Server PID: 483 at: /var/run/ambari-server/ambari-server.pid [root@sandbox ~]# netstat -tnlpa | grep 8080 tcp 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 483/java [root@sandbox ~]# ambari-agent status Found ambari-agent PID: 4569 ambari-agent running.

@Jay SenSharma when i try to ssh to port 2222 i get "connection refused" message from both Putty and Linux. What is missing? ... View more

@Jay SenSharma ambari-agent or ambari-server commands are not available in my instance of Amazon Linux. Are they somehow hidden in the docker? ... View more

@Jay SenSharma Well, it turns out that docker indeed got messed up running with lack of disk space. After rebuilding the instance the script worked. However when running start_sandbox-hdp.sh i got a message that ambari agent started with warning. Probably that's why I cannot login to ambari web interface. Hopefully it is a last hurdle. Could you please help? Unfortunately the logs mentioned in documentation: /var/log/ambari-agent do not exits on my instance. ... View more

@Jay SenSharma I think you were correct - there was not enough disk space on the instance. However when I resized the volume to 100gb, I got a different error: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-17-10 2.6]$ docker load -i HDP_2.6_docker_05_05_2017_15_01_40.tar.gz devicemapper: Error running deviceCreate (createSnapDevice) dm_task_run failed ...

@pdarvasi Many thanks for helping me out. However the very first command in the instructions: sudo yum update -y fails. I did look it up and it and most likely the problem with yum is related to configuration of Amazon Linux instance. Are there specific steps that i need to do in order to get yum working? ... View more

The very first command fails: sudo yum update -y Most references suggest that outbound interfaces are not properly set-up on the instance. How one should set them up in order to get this script to work? ... View more

Thank you, pdarvasi. I would like to finish with sandbox because my goal is to quickly complete all their tutorials. Please help me further: 1. Where do i download the image to? to my windows computer? to s3 bucket on AWS? 2. Where should i run the startup script and using what account? Sorry if my questions are really stupid, i just started to learn. ... View more
