Adding a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster (CCMv2)

You must register CDP Private Cloud Base clusters with CDP before you can use them with CDP Public Cloud services and components.

To ensure optimum security, clusters within the customer environment are not accessible for communication: They have private IP addresses and cannot be accessed outside the firewall. To add your cluster to the CDP, a communication line needs to be established.

The CCM inverted proxy solves the problem by establishing a connection from the on-premise cluster to CDP. You must download and install the jumpgate agent and the connectivity install scripts to establish a secure two-way communication channel. The jumpgate agent ensures that the connectivity is stable. The connectivity scripts and their installation ensure safe connectivity and communication.

Note: The jumphost and connectivity-install scripts files must be stored in a secure environment.

To register the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster as a classic cluster, you enter the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster details. The Management Console acquires the configuration details from Cluster Connectivity Manager (CCM) service and saves it as ZIP files. You download the ZIP files, install the acquired configurations, and then register the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster as a classic cluster.

Note: After you register a CDP Private Cloud Base cluster in CDP, do not change the cluster name in Cloudera Manager. A cluster name change in Cloudera Manager does not currently propagate to CDP, which can result in issues when using clusters with CDP clusters and components.

All the clusters must meet the requirements identified in Prerequisites for adding classic clusters.

You have two options for registering your CDP Private Cloud Base cluster:

  • If you would like to use the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster with Replication Manager, register the cluster using Cloudera Manager.

  • If you would like to use the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster with Replication Manager and Data Catalog, register the cluster using Cloudera Manager and Knox.

For CDP Private Cloud Base cluster registration steps in CDP, see the following documentation:
