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@director-client-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.
