Configure the Engines and Agents on New Ambari Clusters

If you installed DPS on a new cluster, you can install the service engines and agents during the Install Wizard process. If configuring on existing clusters, see "Configure the Engines and Agents on Existing Ambari-Managed Clusters"

About This Task

You must have root access to the Ambari Server host node to perform this task.

This task must be completed on all clusters to be used with DSS.

DSS is available only as Evaluation Software.
