Step 7: Configure Nodes
Connect nodes to the cluster, configure security, and arrange node storage.
You run the configure.sh
script on a node to enable the node to
communicate with the cluster. You must configure each node that is part of the cluster and
each node that connects to the cluster as a client.
Perform the following operations to configure a node:
Operation | Description |
---|---|
Prepare to run configure.sh | This topic describes some information you will need to gather before
running the configure.sh script. |
Enabling the External Key Store (KMIP) Feature | These steps are required only if you want to enable an external key store during installation. For more information about the external key store (KMIP) feature, see External KMIP Keystore Overview. |
Enabling Security on a New Cluster Installation | These steps configure your cluster for security, enabling security for authentication, authorization, and data. Data-at-rest (DARE) encryption can also be enabled during this task. |
Configure storage | To configure storage on a node, you can manually run
disksetup . You need to perform this step for nodes in the
cluster that are installed with the mapr-fileserver . The steps you use to configure storage vary depending on
whether or not DARE is enabled or disabled. |
