Important All hosts in the cluster must run the same OS, version and patch sets.
Graphics Requirements:
The HMC deployment wizard runs as a browser-based Web app. You must have a machine capable of running a graphical browser to use this tool.
Software Requirements:
On each of your hosts:
yum
rpm
scp
curl
wget
pdsh
On the machine from which you will run HMC:
Firefox v.12+
Database Requirements:
Hive or HCatalog requires a MySQL database for its use. You can choose to use a current instance or let the HMC deployment wizard create one for you.
Optional: Configure the local repositories
If your cluster does not have access to the Internet, or you are creating a large cluster and you want to conserve bandwidth, you need to provide access to the HDP installation packages using an alternative method. For more information, see Deploying HDP In Production Data Centers.
