SELinux status:          enabled
SELinuxfs mount:         /sys/fs/selinux

and change SELinux=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled
Then reboot the system.

Download the Cloudera Manager installer to the cluster host to which you are installing the Cloudera Manager Server:

# wget https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/installer/latest/cloudera-manager-installer.bin

Make it executable and run the installer

# chmod +x cloudera-manager-installer.bin
# ./cloudera-manager-installer.bin

Check the firewall rules, ensure that ports 7180 and 7182 are accessible on the Cloudera Manager Server.

Cloudera Hadoop Node Requirements

Hostnames needs to be full FQDN, example:

data01.confignotes.com

 

Setup ntpdate

# systemctl enable ntpdate
# systemctl start ntpd
# sed -i_bak "s/\(nameserver\) .*/\1 10.0.0.1/" /etc/resolv.conf
# ntpdate -u 0.pool.ntp.org

10.0.0.1 is the gateway

 

Cloudera recommends setting /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to a maximum of 10

# sysctl vm.swappiness=10

and add
vm.swappiness = 10
to /etc/sysctl.conf make it permanent.

 

Transparent Huge Page Compaction when enabled can cause significant performance problem, disable it by running:

# echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
# echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

And then add the same command to an init script as /etc/rc.local so it will be set on system reboot.
