             Summary: Systemd on RHEL/CentOS 7.2 breaks ambari-server startup
                 Key: AMBARI-14807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14807
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrew Onischuk
            Assignee: Andrew Onischuk
             Fix For: 2.2.2
         Attachments: AMBARI-14807.patch

Problem:

Systemd on RHEL/CentOS 7.2 breaks Ambari startup.

Business Impact:

Customers are unable to automate the startup of Ambari services

Steps to Reproduce:

1\. Install RHEL 7.2  
2\. Configure env for Ambari  
3\. Install Ambari 2.2.0  
4\. Configure Ambari  
5\. Start Ambari  
6\. Try using systemd to work with Ambari eg. systemctl status ambari-server

Expected behaviour:

Under RHEL 7.1 this worked, sample output:

    
    
    [root@node1 ~]# systemctl status ambari-server
    ambari-server.service - SYSV: ambari-server daemon
       Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server)

    Jan 18 15:46:08 node1.node1.com systemd[1]: Started SYSV: ambari-server daemon.
    

Actual Behaviour:

    
    
    [root@ip-172-30-0-10 ec2-user]# systemctl status ambari-server
    ● ambari-server.service
       Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
       Active: inactive (dead)
    [root@ip-172-30-0-10 ec2-user]#
    

Support Analysis:

I have tested this on Ambari 2.2.0 on CentOS 7.1 and RHEL 7.2 and can confirm
that it's broken on 7.2.

Rackspace discovered this and provided the following feedback:

Version 7.2 of CentOS/RHEL includes a new version of systemd that breaks how
the ambari-server is started up.  
The init.d script from the ambari-server package is not recognized anymore and
not added to systemd, thus ambari-server cannot start at boot time anymore:

    
    
    [root@server-02 ~]# rpm -qa|grep ambari 
    ambari-agent-2.2.0.0-1310.x86_64 
    ambari-server-2.2.0.0-1310.x86_64 
    [root@server-02 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
    CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 
    [root@server-02 ~]# systemctl daemon-reload 
    [root@server-02 ~]# systemctl status ambari-server 
    ● ambari-server.service 
    Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) 
    Active: inactive (dead) 
    [root@server-02 ~]# 
    

I believe this is because /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server is a symlink.  
ambari-agent init script still works just fine:

    
    
    [root@server-02 ~]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-* 
    -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1628 Dec 20 23:34 /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-agent 
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Jan 20 10:18 /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server -> /usr/sbin/ambari-server 
    [root@server-02 ~]# systemctl status ambari-agent 
    ● ambari-agent.service - SYSV: ambari-agent daemon 
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-agent) 
    

If I remove the symlink and copy the /usr/sbin/ambari-server then systemd
works again just fine:

    
    
    [root@server-02 ~]# unlink /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server && cp -a /usr/sbin/ambari-server /etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server && systemctl daemon-reload 
    [root@server-02 ~]# systemctl status ambari-server 
    ● ambari-server.service - SYSV: ambari-server daemon 
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ambari-server) 
    

So please have this fixed as currently, by default, ambari-server startup is
broken in CentOS/RHEL 7.2
