Using the Data Fabric Repository (Upgrade)
It is usually easiest to install an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster from a Data Fabric repository.
The Data Fabric repository provides all of the packages
required to install a cluster using native tools such as yum on RHEL, Oracle
Linux, or CentOS, or apt-get on Ubuntu, or zypper on SUSE.
Installing from the data-fabric repository is generally the easiest installation
method, but requires the greatest amount of bandwidth. With this method, each node is
connected to the internet to download the required packages.
When setting up a repository for the new version, leave in place the repository for the existing version because you might need to use it again.
Prepare packages and repositories on every node, or on a single node if keyless SSH is set up
for the root user.
For information about repositories and packages for Data Fabric software and Hadoop Ecosystem tools, see Data Fabric Repositories and Packages.
Repositories for Core Software
HPE hosts rpm and deb repositories for installing the
core software using Linux package management tools. For every release of the core software,
a repository is created for each supported platform.
Repositories for Ecosystem Tools
HPE hosts rpm and deb repositories for installing
ecosystem tools, such as Flume, Hive, Oozie, Pig, and
Sqoop. At any given time, the recommended versions of ecosystem tools that work with the
latest version of core software are available here.
These platform-specific repositories are hosted at the following locations:
