Installing PostgreSQL Server

Install the PostgreSQL packages on the PostgreSQL server.

note

If you already have a PostgreSQL database set up, you can skip to the section Configuring and Starting the PostgreSQL Server to verify that your PostgreSQL configurations meet the requirements for Cloudera Manager.
Make sure that the data directory, which by default is /var/lib/postgresql/data/, is on a partition that has sufficient free space.
Cloudera Manager supports the use of a custom schema name for the Cloudera Manager Server database, but not the Runtime component databases (such as Hive and Hue). For more information, see Scehmas in the PostgreSQL documentation.

Install the PostgreSQL packages as follows:

RHEL:

sudo yum install postgresql-server
