Preparing Cloudera Private Cloud Base

Use Cloudera Manager to configure your Cloudera Private Cloud Base in preparation for the Cloudera Private Cloud Data Services installation.

  1. Configure the Cloudera Private Cloud Base cluster to use TLS.
    For configuration steps, see Configuring TLS Encryption for Cloudera Manager Using Auto-TLS.
  2. Configure Cloudera Manager with a JKS-format (not PKCS12) TLS truststore.
    For configuration steps, see Database requirements.
  3. Configure Cloudera Manager to include a root certificate that trusts the certificate for all Cloudera Manager server hosts expected to be used with Private Cloud.
    1. Import the necessary certificates into the truststore configured in Configure Administration > Settings > Security > Cloudera Manager TLS/SSL Client Trust Store File.
  4. Configure Ranger and LDAP for user authentication. Ensure that you have configured Ranger user synchronization.
    For configuration steps, see Configure Ranger authentication for LDAP and Ranger usersync.
  5. Enable Kerberos for all the services in the cluster.
    For configuration steps, see Enabling Kerberos for authentication.
  6. Configure LDAP using Cloudera Manager. Only Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and OpenLDAP are currently supported.
    For configuration steps, see Configure authentication using an LDAP-compliant identity service.
  7. Check if all the running services in the cluster are healthy. To check this using Cloudera Manager, go to Cloudera Manager > Clusters > [***CLUSTER NAME***] > Health Issues. If there are no health issues, the No Health Issues message is displayed.
  8. Verify if you have the necessary Cloudera entitlements from Cloudera to access the Private Cloud installation. To check this using Cloudera Manager, go to Cloudera Manager > Private Cloud > Select Repository > [***REPOSITORY URL***]. If you have the required entitlements, the You are about to install Cloudera Private Cloud version [*VERSION*] message with a list of prerequisites is displayed. An error message is displayed if you do not have the necessary entitlements.
    Contact your Cloudera account team to get the necessary entitlements.
  9. If you want to reuse data from your legacy CDH or HDP deployment in your Private Cloud, ensure that you have migrated that data into your Cloudera Private Cloud Base. You must be using Cloudera Runtime 7.1.7 for migrating your data from your CDH or HDP cluster.
    For more information about data migration, see the Data Migration Guide.
