Help please on how to use Ambari on existing cluster

[Raymond Xie <xi...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

This is my first time using Ambari, I already have a three nodes cluster
created on my vm ware, if I launch the cluster installation wizard, it
seems to install a fresh new cluster for me and I do not want that.

Can I load my existing cluster's information into Ambari?

Thank you very much.

Hi Raymond,

If you have an existing cluster already, make sure that Ambari Server is pointed to the right database.
In /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties, you'll see the existing DB settings.

Thanks,
Alejandro
