How to setup Cloudera Hadoop to run on Ubuntu localhost?

Question

I am trying to run all Hadoop servers on a single Ubuntu localhost. All ports are open and my /etc/hosts file is

127.0.0.1   frigate frigate.domain.local    localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

When trying to install cluster Cloudera manager fails with the following messages:

Installation failed. Failed to receive heartbeat from agent.

Ensure that the host's hostname is configured properly.
Ensure that port 7182 is accessible on the Cloudera Manager server (check firewall rules).
Ensure that ports 9000 and 9001 are free on the host being added.
Check agent logs in /var/log/cloudera-scm-agent/ on the host being added (some of the logs can be found in the installation details).

I run my Ubuntu-12.04 node from home connected by Wifi/dialup modem to my provider. What configuration is missing?

Answer 1

Add your pc ip to /etc/hosts file like

# IP pc_name
192.168.3.4 my_pc

It will solve the issue.
