Control-M for Hadoop Installation

The following procedures describe how to install Control-M for Hadoop on Control-M/Agent on UNIX, interactively or automatically, in a Control-M/Server self-hosted environment.

If you want to install multiple instances of Control-M for Hadoop on several computers using the same configuration, use the automatic installation, as described in these procedures.

If the current version of Control-M/Agent is lower than 9.0.20.100 or if Blowfish encryption is used, you need to stop the Control-M for Hadoop after you upgrade the Agent.

Installing Control-M for Hadoop on Control-M/Agent on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install Control-M for Hadoop on Control-M/Agent on UNIX.

The default installation is interactive and uses a GUI display. XServer must be running and configured using the DISPLAY environment variable. If you do not have XServer available, BMC recommends that you continue with the console installation or perform an automatic installation.

Before You Begin

Begin

  1. Log in as the Control-M/Agent user.

  2. Type the following command to stop the Control-M/Agent:

    $CONTROLM/scripts/shut-ag -u <agentUser> -p all

    If the Control-M/Agent was installed with user root, then log in as user root every time you start up or shut down the Control-M/Agent throughout this procedure.

  3. Use one of the following modes:

    • Display: If you install using GUI (or XServer), set your DISPLAY environment variable, as described in Setting Environment Variables in UNIX.

    • Console: It is not necessary to set DISPLAY.

  4. Type the following commands to activate the installation script:

    <install_source_path>/CBD.9.0.21.300_Linux-x86_64.BIN

  5. Do one of the following:

    • Interactive Install: Continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.

    • Automatic Install: Do the following:

      1. Continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.

      2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.

      3. Click Yes.

      4. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all computers where you want to perform an automatic installation.

      5. Type the following command to activate the installation script:

        <install_source_path>/<CBD.9.0.21.300_Linux-x86_64.BIN> -silent<filename.xml>

  6. The installation log is saved to the following location:

    $HOME/<username>/BMCINSTALL/log/cmhadoop/BMC_Plugin_For_Hadoop_Install_<date-time>.log

  7. Log out of the Control-M/Agent.

  8. Log in and start the Control-M/Agent with the following command:

    $CONTROLM/scripts/start-ag -u <agentUser> -p all

Uninstalling Control-M for Hadoop from UNIX

This procedure describes how to uninstall Control-M for Hadoop from UNIX.

Before You Begin

  • Stop all jobs running on Control-M/Agent.

  • Verify that all jobs have ended.

Begin

  1. From a Control-M/Agent computer, log in as a Control-M/Agent user, and type the following command to shut down Control-M/Agent:

    $CONTROLM/scripts/shut-ag -u <agentUser> -p all

    If the Control-M/Agent was installed with user root, then log in as user root every time you start up or shut down the Control-M/Agent throughout this procedure.

  2. Set your DISPLAY environment variable according to the computer name, as described in Setting Environment Variables in UNIX.

  3. Navigate to the following directory:

    $HOME/BMCINSTALL/uninstall/DRCBD.<version>/

  4. Type one of the following commands:

    • Interactive: ./uninstall.sh

    • Automatic: ./uninstall.sh -silent

  5. To restart Control-M/Agent, type the following command:

    $CONTROLM/scripts/start-ag -u <agentUser> -p all

The uninstallation logs is saved to the following location:

$HOME/BMCINSTALL/log/cmhadoop/BMC_Plugin_For_Hadoop_Uninstall_<timestamp>.log

Changing the JRE Package in Control-M for Hadoop

This procedure describes how to change the JRE package in Control-M for Hadoop. The use of JRE is supported only where the major release version is the same as the tested version. For more information about Java, see Control-M External Java Installation.

Begin

  1. Edit the external_java_path_9.0.21.300.dat file in the <HOME>/BMCINSTALL/ directory.

  2. Define an alternative Java home directory by modifying the value of the parameter CM_HADOOP_JAVA_HOME to the external Java path.

    CM_HADOOP_JAVA_HOME={new JRE Path}

    • A relative path is not supported.

    • The path can only include alphanumeric, period, underscore, hyphen and plus characters.

  3. Stop Control-M for Hadoop using the following command.

    $CONTROLM/cm/HADOOPCM/exe/cm_container.sh stop

    Control-M for Hadoop restarts automatically.
