Installing CEM parcel and CSD files

To set up Cloudera Edge Management (CEM) on a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster, you need to add the CEM parcel to your cluster using Cloudera Manager, making the Edge Flow Management service available for installation. Additionally, you also need to upload the Edge Flow Management Custom Service Descriptor (CSD) files to the default CSD directory. These files contain crucial configuration information required to describe and manage the new service effectively.

  • You have installed a JDK. For more information, see Installing the JDK.
  • You have installed and configured a database for use with Edge Flow Management. For more information, see Installing and configuring a database for Edge Flow Management.
  • You have installed a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster. For more information, see CDP Private Cloud Base Installation Guide.
