You should be able to follow the directions here: https://wiki.cloudera.com/display/DOC/Hadoop+Deployment+%28CDH3%29+on+a+Cluster I would setup one node as a namenode/jobtracker/secondarynamenode and the other two as tasktracker/datanodes. Obviously as the number of nodes approached about five, I would split the first box to namenode and jobtracker+snn. -Jonathan
