Chapter 3. Installing the HDF Management Pack

About This Task

A management pack (mpack) bundles service definitions, stack definitions, and stack add-on service definitions so they do not need to be included with the Ambari core functionality and can be updated in between major releases.

[Warning]Warning

If you are installing an HDF cluster only, begin the installation with a fresh Ambari instance. Do not install the HDF management pack on a system where HDP is already installed.

Steps

  1. Back up your Ambari resources folder:

    cp -r /var/lib/ambari-server/resources /var/lib/ambari-server/resources.backup
  2. Download the Hortonworks HDF management pack. You can find the download location for your operating system in the HDF Release Notes.

  3. Copy the bundle to /tmp on the node where you installed Ambari.

  4. Install the management pack:

    ambari-server install-mpack \
    --mpack=/tmp/hdf-ambari-mpack-<version>.tar.gz \
    --purge
    --verbose
  5. Restart the Ambari server:

    ambari-server restart
