The same documentation chapters do apply, with the addition of How to Use Self-Signed Certificates for TLS chapter which has instructions for creating self-signed certificates.   As there is no CA certificate when using self-signed certificates, please add the server certificate of the service you are connecting to (e.g. CM server certificate) into the corresponding truststore file (like rootca.pem) ...

As this is only CM installation completed but no CDH cluster created already, it may be simpler to just start with an empty database for CM (and CMS services where needed) instead of migrating the current database. See instructions provided in the product documentation ... View more

Please set "-Xmx4G" in  /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server and restart CM, then test again. The apparent deadlock messages are an indicator of low memory condition and misleading, we need to make sure to cover the most likely root causes first.   ... View more

CM commands (e.g. restart a role on a cluster node) time out after 150 seconds if there is no response sent back during this time. This happens e.g. if the CM agent on the cluster node is not heartbeating into CM server. Please increase heap memory for CM server in /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server (to avoid the apparent deadlock issue which indicates out of memory condition) make sure that all hosts are in good health state and heartbeating in in CM -> Hosts -> All Hosts page (the "Last Heartbeat" value needs to be lower than 15 seconds) If the host is not heartbeating in then the restart command will fail. The CM agent logs will hopefully show details, a quick resolution may be to restart the CM agent on that node with command  # service cloudera-scm-agent restart ... View more
