Installing Lower Versions of Cloudera Manager 5

• Download and Edit the Repo File for RHEL-compatible OSs or SLES
  1. Download the Cloudera Manager repo file (cloudera-manager.repo) for your OS version using the links provided on the Cloudera Manager Version and Download Information page. For example, for Red Hat/CentOS 6, the file is located at https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/redhat/6/x86_64/cm/cloudera-manager.repo.
  2. Edit the file to change baseurl to point to the version of Cloudera Manager you want to download. For example, to install Cloudera Manager version 5.0.1, change: baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/redhat/6/x86_64/cm/5/ to baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/redhat/6/x86_64/cm/5.0.1/.
  3. Save the edited file:
     • For RHEL or CentOS, save it in /etc/yum.repos.d/.
     • For SLES, save it in /etc/zypp/repos.d.
• Download and Edit the cloudera.list file for Debian or Apt
  1. Download the Cloudera Manager list file (cloudera.list) using the links provided at Cloudera Manager Version and Download Information. For example, for Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid), this file is located at https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/cm/cloudera.list.
  2. Edit the file to change the second-to-last element to specify the version of Cloudera Manager you want to install. For example, with Ubuntu lucid, if you want to install Cloudera Manager version 5.0.1, change: deb https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/cm lucid-cm5 contrib to deb https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/cm lucid-cm5.0.1 contrib.
  3. Save the edited file in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

1. Install the Cloudera Manager Server packages either on the host where the database is installed, or on a host that has access to the database. This host need not be a host in the cluster that you want to manage with Cloudera Manager. On the Cloudera Manager Server host, type the following commands to install the Cloudera Manager packages.

   OS	Command
   RHEL, if you have a yum repo configured	$ sudo yum install cloudera-manager-daemons cloudera-manager-server
   RHEL,if you're manually transferring RPMs	$ sudo yum --nogpgcheck localinstall cloudera-manager-daemons-*.rpm $ sudo yum --nogpgcheck localinstall cloudera-manager-server-*.rpm
   SLES	$ sudo zypper install cloudera-manager-daemons cloudera-manager-server
   Ubuntu or Debian	$ sudo apt-get install cloudera-manager-daemons cloudera-manager-server

2. If you choose an Oracle database for use with Cloudera Manager, edit the /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server file on the Cloudera Manager server host. Locate the line that begins with export CM_JAVA_OPTS and change the -Xmx2G option to -Xmx4G.

You can use Cloudera Manager to install the Oracle JDK, Cloudera Manager Agent packages, CDH, and managed service packages or you can install any of these packages manually. To use Cloudera Manager to install the packages, you must meet the requirements described in Cloudera Manager Deployment.

1. Run this command on the Cloudera Manager Server host:

   sudo service cloudera-scm-server start

   If the Cloudera Manager Server does not start, see Troubleshooting Installation and Upgrade Problems.

sudo service cloudera-scm-agent start

When the Agent hosts reboot, cloudera-scm-agent starts automatically.

From the Welcome to Cloudera Manager page, you can select the edition of Cloudera Manager to install and, optionally, install a license:

1. Choose which edition to install:
   • Cloudera Express, which does not require a license, but provides a limited set of features.
   • Cloudera Enterprise Enterprise Data Hub Edition Trial, which does not require a license, but expires after 60 days and cannot be renewed.
   • Cloudera Enterprise with one of the following license types:
     • Basic Edition
     • Flex Edition
     • Enterprise Data Hub Edition
   If you choose Cloudera Express or Cloudera Enterprise Enterprise Data Hub Edition Trial, you can upgrade the license at a later time. See Managing Licenses.
2. If you elect Cloudera Enterprise, install a license:
   1. Click Upload License.
   2. Click the document icon to the left of the Select a License File text field.
   3. Go to the location of your license file, click the file, and click Open.
   4. Click Upload.
3. Information is displayed indicating what the CDH installation includes. At this point, you can click the Support drop-down menu to access online Help or the Support Portal.
4. Click Continue to proceed with the installation.

Choose which hosts will run CDH and managed services

1. Do one of the following depending on whether you are using Cloudera Manager to install software:
   • If you are using Cloudera Manager to install software, search for and choose hosts:
     1. To enable Cloudera Manager to automatically discover hosts on which to install CDH and managed services, enter the cluster hostnames or IP addresses. You can also specify hostname and IP address ranges. For example:

        Range Definition	Matching Hosts
        10.1.1.[1-4]	10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4
        host[1-3].company.com	host1.company.com, host2.company.com, host3.company.com
        host[07-10].company.com	host07.company.com, host08.company.com, host09.company.com, host10.company.com

        You can specify multiple addresses and address ranges by separating them with commas, semicolons, tabs, or blank spaces, or by placing them on separate lines. Use this technique to make more specific searches instead of searching overly wide ranges. The scan results will include all addresses scanned, but only scans that reach hosts running SSH will be selected for inclusion in your cluster by default. If you do not know the IP addresses of all of the hosts, you can enter an address range that spans over unused addresses and then clear the hosts that do not exist (and are not discovered) later in this procedure. However, keep in mind that wider ranges will require more time to scan.

     2. Click Search. Cloudera Manager identifies the hosts on your cluster to allow you to configure them for services. If there are a large number of hosts on your cluster, wait a few moments to allow them to be discovered and shown in the wizard. If the search is taking too long, you can stop the scan by clicking Abort Scan. To find additional hosts, click New Search, add the host names or IP addresses and click Search again. Cloudera Manager scans hosts by checking for network connectivity. If there are some hosts where you want to install services that are not shown in the list, make sure you have network connectivity between the Cloudera Manager Server host and those hosts. Common causes of loss of connectivity are firewalls and interference from SELinux.
     3. Verify that the number of hosts shown matches the number of hosts where you want to install services. Clear host entries that do not exist and clear the hosts where you do not want to install services.
   • If you installed Cloudera Agent packages in Manually Install Cloudera Manager Agent Packages, choose from among hosts with the packages installed:
     1. Click the Currently Managed Hosts tab.
     2. Choose the hosts to add to the cluster.
2. Click Continue.

   The Cluster Installation Select Repository screen displays.

Choose a software installation type (parcels or packages) and install the software. If you have already installed the CDH and Managed Service packages, you cannot choose Parcel installation.

1. Choose the software installation type and CDH and managed service version:
   • Use Parcels
     1. Choose the parcels to install. The choices depend on the repositories you have chosen; a repository can contain multiple parcels. Only the parcels for the latest supported service versions are configured by default.
        You can add additional parcels for lower versions by specifying custom repositories. For example, you can find the locations of the lower CDH 4 parcels at https://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/cdh4/parcels/. Or, if you are installing CDH 4.3 and want to use policy-file authorization, you can add the Sentry parcel using this mechanism.

        1. To specify the parcel directory, specify the local parcel repository, add a parcel repository, or specify the properties of a proxy server through which parcels are downloaded, click the More Options button and do one or more of the following:
           • Parcel Directory and Local Parcel Repository Path - Specify the location of parcels on cluster hosts and the Cloudera Manager Server host. If you change the default value for Parcel Directory and have already installed and started Cloudera Manager Agents, restart the Agents:

             sudo service cloudera-scm-agent restart

           • Parcel Repository - In the Remote Parcel Repository URLs field, click the button and enter the URL of the repository. The URL you specify is added to the list of repositories listed in the Configuring Cloudera Manager Server Parcel Settings page and a parcel is added to the list of parcels on the Select Repository page. If you have multiple repositories configured, you see all the unique parcels contained in all your repositories.
           • Proxy Server - Specify the properties of a proxy server.
        2. Click OK.
     2. If you are using Cloudera Manager to install software, select the release of Cloudera Manager Agent. You can choose either the version that matches the Cloudera Manager Server you are currently using or specify a version in a custom repository. If you opted to use custom repositories for installation files, you can provide a GPG key URL that applies for all repositories.
   • Use Packages - Do one of the following:
     • If Cloudera Manager is installing the packages:
       1. Click the package version.
       2. If you are using Cloudera Manager to install software, select the release of Cloudera Manager Agent. You can choose either the version that matches the Cloudera Manager Server you are currently using or specify a version in a custom repository. If you opted to use custom repositories for installation files, you can provide a GPG key URL that applies for all repositories.
     • If you manually installed packages in Manually Install CDH and Managed Service Packages , select the CDH version (CDH 4 or CDH 5) that matches the packages you installed manually.
2. If you installed the Agent and JDK manually on all cluster hosts:
   • Click Continue.

     The Host Inspector runs to validate the installation and provides a summary of the results, including all the versions of the installed components. If the validation is successful, click Finish.

   • Skip the remaining steps in this section and continue with Add Services
3. Select Install Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK) to allow Cloudera Manager to install the JDK on each cluster host. If you have already installed the JDK, do not select this option. If your local laws permit you to deploy unlimited strength encryption, and you are running a secure cluster, select the Install Java Unlimited Strength Encryption Policy Files checkbox.
4. (Optional) Select Single User Mode to configure the Cloudera Manager Agent and all service processes to run as the same user. This mode requires extra configuration steps that must be done manually on all hosts in the cluster. If you have not performed the steps, directory creation will fail in the installation wizard. In most cases, you can create the directories but the steps performed by the installation wizard may have to be continued manually. Click Continue.
5. If you chose to have Cloudera Manager install software, specify host installation properties:
   • Select root or enter the username for an account that has password-less sudo permission.
   • Select an authentication method:
     • If you choose password authentication, enter and confirm the password.
     • If you choose public-key authentication, provide a passphrase and path to the required key files.
   • You can specify an alternate SSH port. The default value is 22.
   • You can specify the maximum number of host installations to run at once. The default value is 10.

   The root password (or any password used at this step) is not saved in Cloudera Manager or CDH. You can change these passwords after install without any impact to Cloudera Manager or CDH.

6. Click Continue. If you chose to have Cloudera Manager install software, Cloudera Manager installs the Oracle JDK, Cloudera Manager Agent, packages and CDH and managed service parcels or packages. During parcel installation, progress is indicated for the phases of the parcel installation process in separate progress bars. If you are installing multiple parcels, you see progress bars for each parcel. When the Continue button at the bottom of the screen turns blue, the installation process is completed.
7. Click Continue.

   The Host Inspector runs to validate the installation and provides a summary of the results, including all the versions of the installed components. If the validation is successful, click Finish.

1. On the first page of the Add Services wizard, choose the combination of services to install and whether to install Cloudera Navigator:
   • Select the combination of services to install:

     CDH 4	CDH 5
     Core Hadoop - HDFS, MapReduce, ZooKeeper, Oozie, Hive, and Hue Core with HBase Core with Impala All Services - HDFS, MapReduce, ZooKeeper, HBase, Impala, Oozie, Hive, Hue, and Sqoop Custom Services - Any combination of services.	Core Hadoop - HDFS, YARN (includes MapReduce 2), ZooKeeper, Oozie, Hive, and Hue Core with HBase Core with Impala Core with Search Core with Spark All Services - HDFS, YARN (includes MapReduce 2), ZooKeeper, Oozie, Hive, Hue, HBase, Impala, Solr, Spark, and Key-Value Store Indexer Custom Services - Any combination of services.

     Keep the following in mind:
     • Some services depend on other services; for example, HBase requires HDFS and ZooKeeper. Cloudera Manager tracks dependencies and installs the correct combination of services.
     • In a Cloudera Manager deployment of a CDH 4 cluster, the MapReduce service is the default MapReduce computation framework. Choose Custom Services to install YARN, or use the Add Service functionality to add YARN after installation completes.
     • In a Cloudera Manager deployment of a CDH 5 cluster, the YARN service is the default MapReduce computation framework. Choose Custom Services to install MapReduce, or use the Add Service functionality to add MapReduce after installation completes.
     • The Flume service can be added only after your cluster has been set up.
   • If you have chosen Enterprise Data Hub Edition Trial or Cloudera Enterprise, optionally select the Include Cloudera Navigator checkbox to enable Cloudera Navigator. See Cloudera Navigator Data Management Overview.
2. Click Continue.
3. Customize the assignment of role instances to hosts. The wizard evaluates the hardware configurations of the hosts to determine the best hosts for each role. The wizard assigns all worker roles to the same set of hosts to which the HDFS DataNode role is assigned. You can reassign role instances.

   Click a field below a role to display a dialog box containing a list of hosts. If you click a field containing multiple hosts, you can also select All Hosts to assign the role to all hosts, or Custom to display the hosts dialog box.

   The following shortcuts for specifying hostname patterns are supported:

   • Range of hostnames (without the domain portion)

     Range Definition	Matching Hosts
     10.1.1.[1-4]	10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4
     host[1-3].company.com	host1.company.com, host2.company.com, host3.company.com
     host[07-10].company.com	host07.company.com, host08.company.com, host09.company.com, host10.company.com

   • IP addresses
   • Rack name

   Click the View By Host button for an overview of the role assignment by hostname ranges.

4. When you are finished with the assignments, click Continue.

1. Review the configuration changes to be applied. Confirm the settings entered for file system paths. The file paths required vary based on the services to be installed. If you chose to add the Sqoop service, indicate whether to use the default Derby database or the embedded PostgreSQL database. If the latter, type the database name, host, and user credentials that you specified when you created the database.
2. Click Continue.

   The wizard starts the services.

3. When all of the services are started, click Continue. You see a success message indicating that your cluster has been successfully started.
4. Click Finish to proceed to the Cloudera Manager Admin Console Home Page.

You can test the installation following the instructions in Testing the Installation.
