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 doron ...

hi I created a CentOS 7.7 Linux machine (but also happens with RHEL 7.4) on Azure. I installed the cloudera-manager RPM packages via yum When i try to start the cloudera-scm-server-db service I get "permission denied" on /var/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db/data I added -x flag to the /usr/share/cmf/bin/initialize_embedded_db.sh, and added the "strace" command before the initdb command. I see that the command is running as cloudera-scm user (in the /var/log/messages file) and Is see in the strace output, that it fails on "chmod("/var/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db/data", 0700) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)" When I run the command from Linux CLI as user cloudera-scm it runs OK. Does the Linux behave differently on Azure (i.e. more security features) I don't think it relates to firewall I see in the /var/log/messages the following messages: Oct 22 12:53:14 cdh-doxi-1 systemd: Created slice User Slice of cloudera-scm. Oct 22 12:53:14 cdh-doxi-1 systemd: Started Session c1 of user cloudera-scm. Oct 22 12:53:16 cdh-doxi-1 systemd: Removed slice User Slice of cloudera-scm. could this slices are doing the damage? I see it relates to cgroups (but I'm not sure what it actually means) - can I turn this off somewhere? do i need to reinstall the Linux with different flags? TIA Doron ... View more
