Thanks Srimanth,

a) Yes got this point. We followed this way and it was able to register the agents without problems, ie, the Ambari Server still uses jdk1.6 but all the services will be invoked from
the custom jdk.


b) No , this has happened only once for us.


c) Another issue we found is that , even if I remove ambari. (yum remove ambari\*) this is not removing the postgres. We were starting freshly the ambari and cluster setup, but some of the processes were not starting. From the logs
it was surprising to find the old cluster info;

(DevCluster1 is our new cluster and NewDevCluster is old)

This means that , even after removing ambari, the are still other process which are left out which makes it harder to fully reset a cluster setup. Maybe we should have done ambari-reset, but it would be nice if ambari can take care of the db that it installs by itself.
Or maybe we can add this point to the document somewhere ?


Thanks

Hi Vivek,
a) When using custom JDKs, the process is to make the JDK path (say /usr/lib/java-1.7.0) available on all the hosts where Ambari will run (server and agents). Then run ambari-server setup selecting the custom JDK path - this will update the ambari.properties with the right path. Start ambari-server, and during host registration page, provide the same path again in 'Path to 64-bit JDK JAVA_HOME'. Finish setup. Please try these steps out. If jdk paths exist on all hosts, various services do start with that VM, and you still see the certificate issue, please open JIRAs regarding these.

b) Does the installer redirect happen frequently for you after installs?

Stopping ambari-server does not stop the agents.

    Hi Srimanth,
      Thanks again for your valuable inputs.

    a) We change the jre before ambari server setup.

        The below are the steps we followed .
            1. Installed ambari
            2. In the ambari.properties changed, the port and the jdk
    to 1.7
            3. Ran ambari setup (did not install jdk1.6)
            4. Started ambari. And chose Auto Install of agents. Which
    failed saying;

            INFO 2013-07-04 09:38:00,378 security.py:49 - SSL Connect
    being called.. connecting to the server
            INFO 2013-07-04 09:38:00,563 Controller.py:99 - Unable to
    connect to: https://xxxxx:8441/agent/v1/register/xxxxxx

            5.Stopped the ambari-server, changed jdk, did setup again.
            6. This time it installed jdk 1.6, and agents were
    successfully registered.

    b) Yes, with this url, everything was functional as normal. I was
    able to see all status , perform conf change,start-stop etc. I
    guess it is a problem with the url redirect.
    Extremely sorry abt this, but we have removed our old setup and
    starting fresh. We need to hit the production soon, so we are
    experimenting rigorously.


    c) As I mentioned in my first mail, the .ini was proper after the
    initial trial. We removed the rpm, and did retry, but still no
    luck. It seemed like the first value was
    cached somewhere.
         * We added some logs in the main.py expecting to see it in
    the agent logs.


    Another point that we have noticed is that, stopping ambari server
    doesn't stop the agents.Not sure whether this is the usual
    behavior or some problem with our setup.
    The jdk issue is our major concern currently as we have worked
    around for others. I will look more into the keystore point.


    Thanks
    Vivek

    Hi Vivek,

    a) Did you change the JRE before of after setup+install? If you
    changed it after install, there might ssh keys not in the
    keystore of the new VM.

    b)  When it does go back to installer, which page does it goto,
    and does it have values pre-populated?
    Also, can you please go
    to http://ambari:port/api/v1/persist/CLUSTER_CURRENT_STATUS and
    provide the value for "clusterState" key.

    c) Ambari agents have /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini
    which points to server hostname/port. This might have been
    initialized with 'localhost' resulting in failure, till it was
    fixed by removal.

    Hope that helped.

        Hi Srimanth,

         Thanks for the response my replies below. I am using
        HDP-1.3.0.0.

        a) It was a https call made to ambari server from agent;

        INFO 2013-07-04 09:38:00,378 security.py:49 - SSL Connect
        being called.. connecting to the server

        connect to: https://xxxxx:8441/agent/v1/register/xxxxxx

        If i change the jdk to 1.6, it starts working.

        b) When I manually acess the url, I can properly see the
        status, gangalia, do start/stop, config changes etc.
        It doesnt jump back to the installer.

        c)
        Was the ambari-server started on localhost initially perhaps?
            This could be. But after we corrected other machines, we
        did ambari-server reset.
            Next time it failed saying the same localhost, even
        though the conf was proper.
            Hence we removed rpm, but still did not help and finally
        deleted /etc/ambari-agent  and /usr/lib/ambari*. Which helped.

        (Everytime we were doing retry for that machine installation
        alone)

        d) Sure will have a look at the agent logs next time.


        Thanks

        Hi Vivek,
        Wanted to find out the version of Ambari you are using.

        a) What sort of communication failures were you seeing? If
        there is anything specific in logs that you can share?

        b) UI jumping to installer after login means that the server
        says installation is not complete. Did you notice any errors
        during install? Also when it does go back to installer,
        which page of installer does it end on, and are any previous
        values populated?

        When you do manually go to http://xxx:5858/#/main/dashboard
        - does it stay there, or jump back to installer after a few
        clicks?

        c) Ambari server should be setup on a hostname (hostname -f)
        from where agent nodes can talk back.
        Was the ambari-server started on localhost initially perhaps?
        When some agent hosts had server as localhost - did you
        install agent manually?

        d) Ganglia server component failed to install for some
        reason. The agent logs on that node should contain
        exceptions of why it failed. Fixing that issue should help.

        Srimanth

            Hi,
            I was trying out ambari to setup a cluster and we faced
            some of the below issues. Would be great if someone
            could throw some light on these;



            a) Is it possible to run ambari with jdk1.7. We are
            seeing some communication failures while using 1.7 for
            ambari.
            But prior to ambari we have tested our hadoop programs
            with 1.7 and everything went well. And all of
            our code base is in 1.7. (we have no native apps)





            b) After a cluster setup finished successfully,we are
            able to see the dashborad etc. But after few clicks or
            if i am accessing
            it from a different machine it again redirects me to the
            installation page.

            I figured out that manually entering the below urls only
            can help us. (our port is 585. and browser cache is cleared)
            http://xxx:5858/#/main/dashboard




            c) During our process of hadoop deployment and
            installation, some servers failed (ssh access) and some
            passed .
            So we had to reset and start from the beginning. But
            this time those which passed earlier are failing now,
            since it thinks that the ambari server is 'localhost' .

            The property in the /etc/...ini file the server ip was
            proper. So, we tried the following in those failed machines

            * Remove rpm,reset ambari - This did not work on retry
            * Remove the rpm,delete /etc/ambari-agent, delete
            /usr/lib/ambari* , retry – It worked

            Does this mean that the rpm -e did not remove all the
            files? Is there anything extra we need to care take in
            such scenarios





            d) Hadoop installation and deployment gets successful at
            random retries. When it fails only message we saw was ;
            ERROR ServiceComponentHostImpl:721 – Can’t handle
            ServiceComponentHostEvent event at current state,
            serviceComponentName=GANGLIA_SERVER,
            hostName=server233.xxxxxx, currentState=INSTALL_FAILED,
            eventType=HOST_SVCCOMP_OP_
            SUCCEEDED, event=EventType: HOST_SVCCOMP_OP_SUCCEEDED
            15:17:12,934 WARN HeartBeatHandler:233 – State machine

            org.apache.ambari.server.state.fsm.InvalidStateTransitionException:
            Invalid event: HOST_SVCCOMP_OP_SUCCEEDED at INSTALL_FAILED





            Thanks
            Vivek
