[SOLVED] Cloudera Director Server AWS Quick Start

Cloudera Director Server AWS Quick Start

I am following the Cloudera AWS Quick Start

https://s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-reference/cloudera/hadoop/latest/doc/Cloudera_EDH_on_AWS.pdf

I am using Option 2 Using Cloudera Director Server. I start the server using ./bin/cloudera-director-server as instructed then I am prompted with "Listening for connections on port 7189". I am unsure how to run the next step as there is no prompt.

./bin/cloudera-director bootstrap-remote aws.simple.conf --ip.remote.hostAndPort= 127.0.0.1:7189 ip.remote.username=admin --ip.remote.password=admin

Output

[ec2-user@ip-xx-x-x-xxx cloudera-director-server-1.1.0]$ ./bin/cloudera-director-server Server logs can be found at /home/ec2-user/cloudera/cloudera-director-server-1.1.0/logs/application.log Cloudera Director Server 1.1.0 initializing ... Listening for connections on port 7189 on all interfaces

Solution

The bin/cloudera-director script starts the server in the foreground, which is why you don't see a prompt. Some choices for you:

Run the bin/cloudera-director bootstrap-remote command in a separate shell session, or
Use bin/start to start the server as a background process.

Also, in the bootstrap-remote command, the options must start with "lp" and not "ip".
