7. Installing HDP and Maintaining Your Prior Data

To Install HDP on all your nodes while maintaining your prior data:

Download the HDP for Windows MSI installer from here.
Copy the installer and the new cluster.properties file to all nodes of the cluster.

Run installation from command line on each node in the cluster:

msiexec /qb /i "c:\MSI_INSTALL\hdp-2.1.1.0.winpkg.msi" /lv "hdp.log" HDP_LAYOUT="C:\MSI_INSTALL\cluster.properties" HDP_DIR="C:\hdp" HDP_USER_PASSWORD=H0rton!#%works DESTROY_DATA="no" HDP="yes"

	Tip
New command line properties were added to support the optional HDP components, see HDP MSI Installer Properties. The following example, installs a basic cluster with HBase: msiexec /qn /i D:\MSI_Install\hdp-2.1.1.0.winpkg.msi /lv D:\MSI_Install\hdp.log HDP_LAYOUT=D:\MSI_Install\cluster.properties HDP_DIR=D:\hdp DESTROY_DATA=yes HDP_USER_PASSWORD=#TestUser123! HDP=yes KNOX=no FALCON=no STORM=no HBase=yes STORM=no FLUME=no
