Hadoop.CDH.Installation.RemoteRepository
1. Overview
This topic describes how to create a remote RPM
packages/parcels repository and direct hosts in your Cloudera Manager
deployment to use that repository.
Once you have created a parcels repository, go
to Configuring the Cloudera Manager Server to Use
the Parcel URL. After completing these
steps, you have established the environment required to install a previous
version of Cloudera Manager or install Cloudera Manager to hosts that are not
connected to the Internet. Proceed with the installation process, being sure to
target the newly created repository.
2. Creating a Permanent Remote Repository
The repository is typically hosted using HTTP on
a host inside your network. If you already have a web server in your
organization, you can reuse it and put the parcel files into it.
Below are the detailed steps to setup a
permanent remote repository:
1. Logon the server you want to setup the web
server and run below commands to install Apache httpd web server
yum install httpd
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd
·
RPM
Packages
Download the RPM packages for your OS
distribution from:
Move the RPM packages files to the web
server directory, and modify file permissions
mkdir -p
/var/www/html/cdh5/packages
tar -xvf cm5.*-centos7.tar.gz
-C /var/www/html/cdh5/parcels
chmod -R ugo+rX
/var/www/html/cdh5 (might not require)
3. After moving the files and changing permissions,
visit http://hostname:80/cdh5/parcels to verify that you can access the RPM packages. Apache may have
been configured to not show indexes, which is also acceptable.

Parcels
a. Download the parcel and manifest.json files for
your OS distribution from:
·
