Apache Ambari Update

Prerequisites​

Updating Apache Ambari​

Package Repository​

Carry out the following procedures on all Cluster machines to define a new package repository for Apache Ambari:

  • Access the directory where the Ambari package repository file (repo file) is located:

    Terminal input
    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

  • Execute the command below to download the ambari.repo file and save it in the local directory /etc/yum.repos.d/, to be used by the YUM package manager.

    • Terminal input
      wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo https://repo.tecnisys.com.br/repository/public/tdp/2.3.0/el-9-x86_64/ambari.repo
    • Terminal input
      curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo https://repo.tecnisys.com.br/repository/public/tdp/2.3.0/el-9-x86_64/ambari.repo
    warning

    The commands suggested below overwrite the file /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo, if it already exists in the directory. If necessary, perform a backup of the file with the current definitions first.

  • In the ambari.repo file, replace the USER and PASS variables, present in the URLs of the baseurl and gpgkey properties, respectively, with your user and password registered on the Site da Tecnisys . If using a local repository, adjust these URLs.

  • After defining the package repository of the new TDP version, we recommend updating the yum/dnf cache:

    Terminal input
        yum clean all; yum makecache timer;

Updating the Ambari Agent​

With the new package repository defined, begin updating the Ambari Agent component.

warning

Communication between the Ambari Agent and the Ambari Server is suspended during the update. However, the services of other Cluster components continue to operate.

  • Update the Ambari Agent binaries:

    Terminal input
        yum upgrade ambari-agent -y
    note

    Any customizations of the ambari-agent.ini file can be recovered from the backup file generated: ambari-agent.ini.old

  • Start the Ambari Agent service:

    Terminal input
        ambari-agent start

Updating the Ambari Server​

After updating the Ambari Agent on all Cluster machines, proceed to update the Ambari Server.

warning

This operation requires stopping the Ambari Server service.

warning

It is recommended to perform a backup of the Ambari metadata database before starting this operation.

Carry out the following procedure only on the machine where the Ambari Server is installed:

  • Stop the Ambari Server service:

    Terminal input
        ambari-server stop

  • Update the Ambari Server binaries:

    Terminal input
        yum upgrade ambari-server -y

    Basically, this command performs the following operations:

    • Adjustments of Ambari properties.
