Hi @Sagar Shimpi Good to know I have got the same understanding. Anyways I will give it a go with the Vi /CAT editor and let you know. Cheers! ... View more

@Sagar Shimpi, I am sort of across the linux commands (not an expert TBH). But I think I am understanding something really wrong here. My bad as I am very new to this HDP platform. My realization is core_site.xml, hdfs_site.xml etc. are not part of local file system. I can only see them after I run the SSH SANDBOX command through the terminal! See the following 2 screenshots: Screenshot 1 (without running the SSH SANDBOX command and I can't see any hadoop folder under etc) Screenshot 2 (Running the SSH SANDBOX command and I can see hadoop folder under etc) This makes me think those files are still part of HDFS and not local file system. So I still face the same situation? Regards, Anindya ... View more

@Sagar Shimpi, thanks for that PDF link. However I am just wondering how will I access files like core_site.xml, hdfs_site.xml etc.? Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Anindya ... View more

@Sagar Shimpi, don't think so. That's how you access the local file system, not HDFS !! Look at the following screenshot. ... View more

Hi : Any help with this one? I just realised we can't really access the HDFS files the way we acces File System files. Normally we need to copy the file to the local File System, edit it and put it back to HDFS. So I am not sure what is meant by the following steps in the Self paced learning lab: Thanks and regards, Anindya ... View more

@Lester Martin, thanks a lot. I got what you said : '(i.e. these VM's don't really like to be stopped & started)'. So instead of powering the VM off, I am suspending it and then resuming the same when I need to use it. Cheers! Anindya ... View more

@Lester Martin, thanks for your response. So does it mean the online self paced learning doesn't have the latest setup guide? If yes, I believe it is better to update that instead of connecting to individual subscriber. However in the mean time I will drop an email to training-support@hortonworks.com, referencing this post. Also FYI, after waiting may be 10 more minutes I could successfully run the hdfs dfs -ls / command and it listed all those 7 items. Does it mean I can now use the VM or do you still prefer me to download the VM again and start from the scratch? Regards, Anindya ... View more

@Lester Martin, thanks for the info. I did try this approach. However got a funny message when I tried to run the recreate script. See the screenshot below. Look at the 2 error messages right after creating sandbox.... Also when I tried to issue the hdfs dfs -ls / command, I got the error below. Connection refused at Sandbox 172.17.0.1 Do I need to wait before I try anything? Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Anindya ... View more
