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. Install the repository configuration files for Ambari and the Stack on the host.

  2. Confirm repository availability;

    For RHEL, CentOS, Oracle or Amazon Linux:

    1.  yum repolist

    For SLES:

    1.  zypper repos

    For Debian and Ubuntu:

    1.  dpkg-list

  3. Synchronize the repository contents to your mirror server:

    • Browse to the web server directory:

      For RHEL, CentOS, Oracle or Amazon Linux:

      1.    cd /var/www/html/

      For SLES:

      1.    cd /srv/www/htdocs/rpms

      For Debian and Ubuntu:

      1.    cd /var/www/html/

    • For Ambari, create the ambari directory and reposync:

      1.   mkdir -p ambari/<OS>
      1.   cd ambari/<OS>
      1.   reposync -r Updates-Ambari-2.7.5.0

    • For Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) stack repositories, create the hdp directory and reposync:

      1.   mkdir -p hdp/<OS>
      1.   cd hdp/<OS>
      1.   reposync -r HDP-<latest.version>
      1.   reposync -r HDP-UTILS-<version>

    • For HDF Stack Repositories, create an hdf directory and reposync.

      1.   mkdir -p hdf/<OS>
      1.   cd hdf/<OS>
      1.   reposync -r HDF-<latest.version>

  4. Generate the repository metadata:

    For Ambari:

    1.  createrepo <web.server.directory>/ambari/<OS>/Updates-Ambari-2.7.5.0

    For HDP Stack Repositories:

    1.  createrepo <web.server.directory>/hdp/<OS>/HDP-<latest.version>
    1.  createrepo <web.server.directory>/hdp/<OS>/HDP-UTILS-<version>

    For HDF Stack Repositories:

    1.  createrepo <web.server.directory>/hdf/<OS>/HDF-<latest.version>

  5. Confirm that you can browse to the newly created repository:

    Ambari Base URL

    1.  http://<web.server>/ambari/<OS>/Updates-Ambari-2.7.5.0

    HDF Base URL

    1.  http://<web.server>/hdf/<OS>/HDF-<latest.version>

    HDP Base URL

    1.  http://<web.server>/hdp/<OS>/HDP-<latest.version>

    HDP-UTILS Base URL

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

    Where:

    • <web.server> – The FQDN of the web server host
    • <version> – The Hortonworks stack version number

    • <OS> – centos7, sles12, ubuntu16, ubuntu 18, or debian9

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

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

    a. Install the plug-in.

    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:

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