Creating Cloudera Data Engineering Virtual Cluster without installing Atlas in your CDP Base cluster

If the Cloudera Data Engineering Virtual Cluster creation fails because Atlas is not installed, you must identify the CDE Namespace and set an environment variable prior to creating the Virtual Cluster.

  1. Identify the CDE Namespace
    1. In the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) console, click the Data Engineering tile. The CDE Home page displays.
    2. In the CDE Services column, click for the CDE service you want to create a VC.
    3. Note the Cluster ID shown on the page and identify the CDE Namespace. For example, if the Cluster ID is cluster-sales8098, then the CDE Namespace is dex-base-sales8098.
  2. Use this CDE Namespace (dex-base-sales8098) to run Kubernetes commands using kubectl or OpenShift’s command line oc.
    kubectl
    kubectl set env deployment/dex-base-configs-manager -c dex-base-configs-manager ATLAS_CONFIGS_DISABLED=true --namespace <CDE Namespace>
    oc
    oc set env deployment/dex-base-configs-manager -c dex-base-configs-manager ATLAS_CONFIGS_DISABLED=true --namespace <CDE Namespace>
