 2.  Setting Up the Ambari Repository

This process prepares the updated repository.

  1. Check to see if you have a conf.save directory for Ambari server and agents. If you do, move them to a back-up location:

    mv /etc/ambari-server/conf.save/ /etc/ambari-server/conf.save.bak 
    mv /etc/ambari-agent/conf.save/ /etc/ambari-agent/conf.save.bak

  2. Get the new Ambari bits. Use wget to fetch the repository file and replace the old repository file with the new repository file on every host.

    [Important]Important

    Check your current directory before you download the new repository file to make sure that there are no previous versions of the file. If you do not, and a previous version exists, the new download is saved with a numeric extension such as ambari.repo.1. Make sure that the version you copy is the new version.
