HDP Services Not Started Automatically on Startup

Because of the limited resources available in the sandbox virtual machine environment, the following services are in maintenance mode and will not automatically start. To fully use these services, you must allocate more memory to the sandbox virtual machine. If you want these services to automatically start, turn off maintenance mode. The processes are listed with their main class.

  • Ambari Metrics
  • Atlas
    • Main - org.apache.atlas.Main
  • HDFS
    • SecondaryNameNode - org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode
    • Since on a single node, secondary namenode is not needed, it is not started.
