Prerequisites

You must have completed the Getting Started Setting up a Local Repository procedure.

  • -

To finish setting up your local repository, complete the following:

Steps

  1. Obtain the compressed tape archive file (tarball) for the repository you want to create.

  2. Copy the repository tarball to the web server directory and uncompress (untar) the archive:

    a. Browse to the web server directory you created.

    For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle/Amazon Linux:

    1.  cd /var/www/html/

    For SLES:

    1.  cd /srv/www/htdocs/rpms

    For Debian/Ubuntu:

    1.  cd /var/www/html/

    b. Untar the repository tarballs and move the files to the following locations, where <web.server>, <web.server.directory>, <OS>, <version>, and <latest.version> represent the name, home directory, operating system type, version, and most recent release version, respectively:

    Ambari Repository

    Untar under <web.server.directory>.

    HDF Stack Repositories

    Create a directory and untar it under <web.server.directory>/hdf.

    HDP Stack Repositories

    Create a directory and untar it under <web.server.directory>/hdp.

  3. Confirm that you can browse to the newly created local repositories, where <web.server>, <web.server.directory>, <OS>, <version>, and <latest.version> represent the name, home directory, operating system type, version, and most recent release version, respectively:

    Ambari Base URL

    http://<web.server>/Ambari-2.7.4.0/<OS>

    HDF Base URL

    http://<web.server>/hdf/HDF/<OS>/3.x/updates/<latest.version>

    HDP Base URL

    http://<web.server>/hdp/HDP/<OS>/3.x/updates/<latest.version>

    HDP-UTILS Base URL

    http://<web.server>/hdp/HDP-UTILS-<version>/repos/<OS>

    Be sure to record these Base URLs. You will need them when installing Ambari and the cluster.

  4. Optional: If you have multiple repositories configured in your environment, deploy the following plug-in on all the nodes in your cluster.

    a. For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 7:

    1. yum install yum-plugin-priorities

    b. Edit the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file to add the following values:

    1. [main]
    2. enabled=1
    3. gpgcheck=0
