Installing the DLM Engine
DLM requires that an engine be installed on each cluster that is to be used in replication jobs. Complete these steps in every HDP cluster that is involved in replication. “Beacon” is the internal name for the DLM Engine and can be used interchangeably in this document and in the package structure and installation.
Follow these steps to install the DLM engine:
- Install the DLM Engine MPack.
- Set up the beacon database.
- Create the DLM Engine service user.
- Set up the DLM Engine service in Ambari.
