7.10.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
- Planning the Cluster
  Describes information and factors used in planning your cluster.
- Installation Methods
  Describes different ways to install the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
  - Installing with a Seed Node
    Describes how to install the platform using a seed node and the Create Fabric interface.
  - Installing Manually
    Describes how to install HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software and ecosystem components by using the command line.
    - Data Fabric Repositories and Packages
      Describes the repositories for Data Fabric software and the ecosystem components.
    - Package Dependencies
      Lists the interdependencies between packages across all the supported Operating Systems
    - Preparing Each Node
      Defines minimum requirements for each node in your cluster.
    - Installing without the Installer
      Describes how to install HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software and ecosystem components manually.
      - Step 1: (Optional) Enable FIPS Mode
        If your cluster must be FIPS-compliant, you must enable FIPS mode at the operating system level before installing Data Fabric software. If FIPS compliance is not needed, you can skip this step.
      - Step 2: Import the Package Key
        Before you install Data Fabric packages, you must import the package key.
      - Step 3: Prepare Packages and Repositories
        To install services correctly, each node must have access to the package files.
      - Step 4: Install Cluster Service Packages
        The installation process varies based on the location of your packages and the configuration of your cluster.
      - Step 5: Verify Installation Success
        To confirm success, check each node.
      - Step 6: Set Environment Variables
        Before starting ZooKeeper or Warden, you must complete this step.
      - Step 7: Configure Nodes
        Connect nodes to the cluster, configure security, and arrange node storage.
      - Step 8: Bring up the Cluster
        Before you can install monitoring or ecosystem components, you must enable the cluster by starting ZooKeeper and Warden and verifying the cluster installation status.
        Starting ZooKeeper and Warden
        Starting ZooKeeper and Warden brings up the cluster.
        Enabling the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Object Store
        Some post-installation steps must be performed before you can use the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Object Store.
        Troubleshooting Installation
        If you are having difficulty bringing up the cluster, you have a number of options.
        Installing the Cluster License
        You must have a valid license to unlock the enterprise features of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric. You can obtain a trial license by contacting your HPE support representative.
        Verifying the Cluster Installation Status
        You can use the command line or the Control System to verify the status of your installation.
      - Step 9: Install Metrics Monitoring
        Metrics monitoring is part of monitoring, which also includes log monitoring. Monitoring components are available as part of the Ecosystem Pack (EEP) that you selected for the cluster.
      - Step 10: Install Log Monitoring
        Installing the monitoring logging components is optional. The logging components enable the collection, storage, and visualization of core logs, system logs, and ecosystem component logs. Monitoring components are available as part of the Ecosystem Pack (EEP) that you selected for the cluster.
      - Step 11: Install Ecosystem Components Manually
        You can install one or more ecosystem components from any Ecosystem Pack (EEP) that is supported by the Data Fabric cluster version. An EEP consists of a group of ecosystem components that work together.
      - Step 12: Run configure.sh
        Run configure.sh with the -R option to complete the configuration of ecosystem components that were added manually.
    - Configuring the Cluster
      Describes post-installation configuration tasks for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
  - Installing with the Installer
    Describes how to install HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software and ecosystem components by using the legacy graphical user interface.
  - Installing with Stanzas
    Describes how you can install the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric by using a Stanza.
  - Installing with an Ansible Script
    Describes how you can install the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric by using an Ansible script.
- Installing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric File Store
  Describes how to install File Store software with or without the Installer.
- Installing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Object Store
  Describes installation of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Object Store software with or without the Installer.
- Installing Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric
  This section describes how to plan for and install the Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin and the Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric FlexVolume Driver.
- Setting Up Clients and Services
  Describes how to set up and use interfaces to an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster from a client computer.
- Setting Up the Control System
  Describes how to configure and access the Control System.
- Migrating to the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric
  Provides instructions for migrating business-critical data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
- Applying a Patch
  You can apply a patch by using the Installer, by using the command line (a manual process), or by using an Installer Stanza.
