  4. Stop all HDP 2.3.x Services for your scenario:

    • For non-Ambari managed clusters:

      1. Stop all HDP 2.3.x services using the Stopping HDP Services section of the HDP Reference Guide.

    • For Ambari 1.7.0-managed clusters:

      1. Open Ambari Web.

      2. Browse to Services.

      3. Use Service Actions to stop each service.

  5. For all services, switch the active version to HDP 2.3.6.

    On each host in the cluster, use hdp-select to switch all services to the HDP 2.3.6 version:

    hdp-select set all 2.3.6.0-3796

  6. For Ambari 1.7.0-managed clusters, complete the Stack Upgrade:

    Update the repository base URLs to use the HDP 2.3.6 repositories for HDP and HDP-UTILS:

    1. Open Ambari Web.

    2. Browse to Admin > Repositories.

    3. Edit the base URLs.

  7. Start all HDP 2.3.6 services, in the following order:

    1. ZooKeeper

      su - zookeeper export ZOOCFGDIR=/usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/conf ; export ZOOCFG=zoo.cfg; source /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/conf/zookeeper-env.sh ; /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server/bin/zkServer.sh start

    2. (HA NameNode upgrade only) ZooKeeper Failover Controller Daemons

      /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-hdfs-namenode/../hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start zkfc

    3. (HA NameNode upgrade only) JournalNodes

      su - hdfs /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-hdfs-journalnode/../hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start journalnode

    4. HDFS NameNodes

      Start the HDFS NameNodes. Because there is no metadata schema update for this upgrade, start the NameNodes in normal mode:

      su - hdfs /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-hdfs-namenode/../hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode

    5. Remaining Services

      Start the rest of the HDP services. On each host in the cluster, start the services that are relevant to that cluster. To identify the start commands for all services, see "Controlling HDP Services Manually" in the HDP Reference Guide.

    You now have an upgraded cluster. Ensure that your workloads run correctly on this upgraded cluster.
