Install the DLM Engine MPack
DLM requires that an engine be installed on each cluster that is to be used in replication jobs. The engine is installed on the Apache Ambari host, using an Ambari management pack (MPack). An MPack bundles service definitions, stack definitions, and stack add-on service definitions.
- This task must be completed on all clusters to be used with DLM.
- “Beacon” is the internal name for the DLM Engine. If you install DLM, you will see the name Beacon in some paths, commands, etc.
You must have root access to the Ambari Server host node to
perform this task.
