I have been through this very recently. My approach was to: --manually setup the master (ie specify the conf files etc) --tar-up java and hadoop s.t unpacking them puts them in the desired location --create the ssh keys on the master.
now, create a shell script which does the following: --open the necessary ports --copy across the ssh keys from the master and install them in the correct location --copy across and untar java and hadoop --assign the correct permissions to the distributed file system directory on the current node --create user accounts as necessary copy this script across to each slave in turn and run it; adding a new slave node will take a minute or two. (this assumes each node already has linux installed on it and the filesystem is identical) Miles On 15/01/2008, Bin YANG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear colleagues, > > Right now, I have to deploy ubuntu 7.10 + hadoop 0.15 on 16 PCs. > One PC will be set as master, the others will be set as slaves. > The PCs have similar hardware, or even the same hardware. > > Is there a quick and easy way to deploy hadoop on these PCs? > > Do you think that > > 1. ghost a whole successful ubuntu 7.10 + hadoop 0.15 hard disk > 2. and then copy the image to other PCs > > is the best way? > > Thank you very much. > > Best wishes, > Bin YANG > > > -- > Bin YANG > Department of Computer Science and Engineering > Fudan University > Shanghai, P.
