Use ADCM Wizard for ADPS installation

Sergei Tikhomirov

ADCM Wizard presents an alternative way of installing an ADPS cluster, which involves a step-by-step preconfiguration for some of the cluster settings such as SSL, Kerberos, and Ranger plugins. The installation with Wizard is available only for clusters in the created and faulty_installed states (starting with ADPS 2.2.0). You can read more about Wizard in the ADCM documentation.

IMPORTANT
All the preparation steps like adding services, adding hosts, adding components, configuring services, and configuring a cluster still need to be performed. The Install Wizard action is an alternative only for the installation step.

Each configuration step except for the last one has the following navigation actions:

  • Discard changes — resets all the parameters of the current step to the default values.

  • Next step — saves the set parameters of the current step and navigates you to the next configuration page.

The last step has only the Run action which starts installation.

To exit the installation wizard, click Exit in the top right corner. Your current progress will be saved, and the next time you run the Install Wizard action, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to continue from the last completed step or to start over.
