Adding a New Node to the ODP Cluster

You can follow the steps below to add a new node to the ODP cluster.

Add the Amabri Repository

It must be the same as the existing cluster.

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

[ambari] async = 1 baseurl = https://mirror.odp.acceldata.dev/AMBARI/RHEL/3.0.0.1-1/ gpgcheck = 0 name = ambari Version - ambari-3.0.0.1-1

Add Prerequisites

Make sure to meet the following prerequisites on each cluster node.

Make sure to link ODP on Hetzner.

Configure the host file using the following command.

vim /etc/hosts

Set the hostname using the following command.

hostnamectl set-hostname ce05.acceldata.dvl

Run the command vim /etc/resolv.conf and configure as below.

search acceldata.dvl nameserver <ip-address>

Run the command vim /etc/selinux/config and disable SELinux.

SELINUX=disabled

Install the Agent

yum clean all yum install ambari-agent* -y

Add the Server details to the Agent

vim /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini

[server] hostname=ce04.acceldata.dvl

Start the Agent

ambari-agent start ambari-agent status

Install Java

yum install java-11*

Install Python

[root@ce16 ~]# python -V -bash: python: command not found

yum install python3.11 -y

update-alternatives --config python

[root@ce16 ~]# update-alternatives --config python There are 3 programs which provide 'python'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- * 1 /usr/libexec/no-python 2 /usr/bin/python3 + 3 /usr/bin/python3.11 Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 3 Skip Users and Group creation

Troubleshooting Steps

Issue-1

If the user and group creation skipping is not performed, the following error appears.

Error

File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stack-hooks/before-ANY/scripts/shared_initialization.py", line 50, in setup_users groups = params.user_to_groups_dict[user], KeyError: hbase' Error: Error: Unable to run the custom hook script ['/usr/bin/python', '/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stack-hooks/before-ANY/scripts/hook.py', 'ANY', '/var/lib/ambari-agent/data/command-63224.json', '/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stack-hooks/before-ANY', '/var/lib/ambari-agent/data/structured-out-63224.json', 'INFO', '/var/lib/ambari-agent/tmp', 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_ 2', '']

Solution: Perform as suggested in Skip Users and Group Creation.

Issue-2

If odp-select is installed on a new node before adding it to the cluster, the following error appears.

Error

Issue-3

Distro Module adding

==================== Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ambari-agent/lib/ambari_agent/main.py", line 33, in <module> from ambari_agent import AmbariConfig File "/usr/lib/ambari-agent/lib/ambari_agent/AmbariConfig.py", line 30, in <module> from ambari_commons.os_family_impl import OsFamilyFuncImpl, OsFamilyImpl File "/usr/lib/ambari-agent/lib/ambari_commons/init.py", line 21, in <module> from ambari_commons.os_check import OSCheck, OSConst File "/usr/lib/ambari-agent/lib/ambari_commons/os_check.py", line 25, in <module> import distro ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

Solution:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py /usr/bin/python3.11 get-pip.py /usr/bin/python3.11 -m pip install distro /usr/bin/python3.11 -c "import distro"
