Introduction
This tutorial walks you through the installation of CDP Private Cloud Base (trial version). We will use AWS for the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to create the underlying infrastructure needed.
At the time of writing, CDP Private Cloud Base is built using Cloudera Manager 7.4.4 and Cloudera Runtime 7.1.7.
Prerequisites
- Have administrative access to an AWS account
- Installed and configured AWS CLI
- Installed jq, a command-line tool for parsing JSON. Refer to stedolan.github.io for assistance on installing.
Create Infrastructure
In the Downloads Assets section, bash script create-iaas.sh was provided. This script facilitates the creation of the infrastructure and requirements needed to install CDP Private Cloud Base (trial version) using AWS as the cloud service provider.
There is no need to edit or modify the script.
IMPORTANT: Make note of the script output, SUMMARY and ACTION ITEMS sections. It provides information about the infrastructure created and the necessary action items you must take.
On your local computer’s command-line, issue the following command:
./create-iaas.sh
Map IP Addresses
Based on the infrastructure the script created, your hosts file needs to be updated to map the IP addresses to host names.
From the script output, select and copy the text underneath 1. APPEND TO HOST FILE: and append it to your host file.
NOTE: You must have administrator/sudo privileges to modify the host file.
Host file location depends on your operating system:
macOS: /private/etc/hosts
Linux: /etc/hosts
Windows: c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Run Commands on each Node
As explained in the script output, under ACTION ITEMS, run the specified commands on each node.
NOTE: We deliberately update the primary node last; not exiting the terminal. We need to run more commands in the next step.
Reason for updates:
- As explained in, Before You Begin a Trial Installation, we need to disable SELinux.
- Reducing value for vm.swappiness enhances performance by keeping more pages in memory.
