Starting and Stopping the Installer

Describes how and when you need to shut down and restart the Installer.

It is seldom necessary to shut down and restart the Installer, but you might need to do so in the following scenarios:

You are troubleshooting an Installer issue, and stopping and restarting the Installer might resolve the issue.
You need to upgrade the OS for a node. See When Upgrading Core with the Installer Requires an OS Upgrade.
You want to run the Installer node in FIPS-compliant mode, and you cannot leave the Installer running because the Installer is not FIPS compliant.

Checking the Installer Status

When you are not sure if the Installer is running, use the following command to check the status:

systemctl status mapr-installer

Starting and Restarting the Installer

To start or restart the Installer (requires root authentication):

systemctl start mapr-installer

Stopping the Installer

Note that if you stop the Installer while an installation is in progress, any passwords that you provided to the Installer user interface are lost. The Installer retains password information in memory and not in the Installer database. If you then restart the Installer to continue the installation, the installation fails. In this scenario, you must restart the Installer and the Installer user interface and re-enter the password information to resume the installation.

To stop the Installer (requires root authentication):

systemctl stop mapr-installer
