Ambari - HDP.repo issue

[Ganesh Viswanathan <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hello-
I setup ambari-server with the local repository option (for HDP, HDP-UTILS,
Ambari repos). But when I start ambari-agents on other hosts in the cluster
and try to create a new cluster, I see "HDP.repo" show up newly at
"/etc/yum.repos.d/". The file contains localhost in the base url and hence
the setup fails.

How does HDP.repo get created in the other hosts by ambari-agent? Does it
get the setting from the Select Stack -> Advanced Repository Options URLs?
How is the url cached and brought by the agent to the installation node?

I'm installing Ambari 2.2.1.0 with HDP 2.4 on Oracle-7 Linux host.

Thanks,
Ganesh

I managed to fix the repo url issue and complete cluster deployment.

I was going back to previous Ambari steps several times while setting up
the cluster and looks like this caused several settings to not get updated
to the latest values.
I saw several issues in registering hosts and getting the latest settings.
But these and the HDP.repo url got fixed by restarting the ambari-server,
adding the correct base url in the "Advanced Repostory Options", and then
going down the steps without changes.

But I'm curious- are the configuration values provided by users in each
Ambari step appended to a config file on the server host? Or is it cached
in cookies on the browser until the last *summary and deploy* step?

Do you mean, the HDP.repo file created by Ambari/Agents do not contain the Repo BaseURL that was set via Select Stack -> Advanced Repository Options URLs? Did you also set them while installing the cluster?


Can you provide the details on what is provided via "Select Stack -> Advanced Repository Options URLs" and what value is written to HDP.repo?
