To configure local repositories for HDP deployment, your system must meet the following minimum requirements:
Your mirror server host must run on one of the following operating systems:
64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
64 bit CentOS v5.x, v6.x
64 bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP1
Ensure that this server and the cluster nodes are all running the same OS.

Note To support repository mirroring for heterogeneous clusters requires a more complex procedure than the one documented here.
The mirror server host must have several GB of storage available.
The firewall allows all cluster nodes (the servers on which you want to install HDP) to access this server.
If your mirror host uses SLES, execute the following command to install the required packages:
zypper -n --no-gpg-checks install apache2 apache2-prefork apache2-utils python-curl python-gobject2 python-gpgme python-urlgrabber python-iniparse wget curl yum-metadata-parser yum yum-updatesd yum-utils createrepo
