Connecting to Cloudera Manager with Cloudera Director Client

After the cluster is ready, log in to Cloudera Manager and access the cluster.

To access Cloudera Manager:

  1. Use the status command to get the host IP address of Cloudera Manager:
    $ cloudera-director status cluster.conf
    Cloudera Director displays output similar to the following:
    Cloudera Director 2.0.0 initializing ...
    
    Cloudera Manager:
    * Instance: 10.0.0.110 Owner=wintermute,Group=manager
    * Shell: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.110
    
    Cluster Instances:
    * Instance 1: 10.0.0.39 Owner=wintermute,Group=master
    * Shell 1: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.39
    
    * Instance 2: 10.0.0.148 Owner=wintermute,Group=slave
    * Shell 2: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.148
    
    * Instance 3: 10.0.0.150 Owner=wintermute,Group=slave
    * Shell 3: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.150
    
    * Instance 4: 10.0.0.147 Owner=wintermute,Group=slave
    * Shell 4: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.147
    
    * Instance 5: 10.0.0.149 Owner=wintermute,Group=slave
    * Shell 5: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.149
    
    * Instance 6: 10.0.0.151 Owner=wintermute,Group=slave
    * Shell 6: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.151
    
    * Instance 7: 10.0.0.254 Owner=wintermute,Group=gateway
    * Shell 7: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.254
    
    * Instance 8: 10.0.0.32 Owner=wintermute,Group=master
    * Shell 8: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.32
    
    * Instance 9: 10.0.0.22 Owner=wintermute,Group=master
    * Shell 9: ssh -i /root/.ssh/launchpad root@10.0.0.22
    
    Launchpad Gateway:
    * Gateway Shell: ssh -i /path/to/launchpad/host/keyName.pem -L 7180:10.0.0.110:7180 -L 7187:10.0.0.110:7187 root@ec2-54-77-57-3.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
    
    Cluster Consoles:
    * Cloudera Manager: http://localhost:7180
    * Cloudera Navigator: http://localhost:7187

    In this example, the host IP address is 10.0.0.110.

  2. Change to the directory where your keyfile.pem file is located. Then, route the connection over SSH:
    $ ssh -L 7180:cm-host-private-ip:7180 ec2-user@cm-host-public-ip
    # go to http://localhost:7180 in your browser and login with admin/admin
  3. Open a web browser and enter http://localhost:7180 to connect to Cloudera Manager. Use admin as both the username and password.
  4. Add any additional services to the cluster. The CDH 5 parcel was already distributed by Cloudera Director.
