Running Cloudera Director Client

After you modify the configuration file, you can run Cloudera Director client. There are two ways of running the Cloudera Director client:
  • In standalone mode, using the bootstrap command. Clusters created using the bootstrap command cannot be managed using the Cloudera Director UI. The information below on this page concerns running the client in standalone mode.
  • If you already have a server, you can run the client against the server using the commands bootstrap-remote and terminate-remote. Only clusters created with the bootstrap-remote command can be managed using the Cloudera Director UI. For more information on using the client to deploy clusters on the server, see Submitting a Cluster Configuration File.
