Getting the following error while trying to create a new cluster using Cloudera Director. Any advice?

[ec2-user@ip-10-0-2-227 cloudera-director-1.0.0]$ ./bin/cloudera-director bootstrap-remote   aws.reference.conf --lp.remote.hostAndPort=127.0.0.1:7189

Answer 1

You are using the Cloudera Director Server (which currently has known issues). In the meantime, you can still get the cluster running with Cloudera Director without the server part.

The command is ./bin/cloudera-director bootstrap aws.simple.conf (simple config) -OR- ./bin/cloudera-director bootstrap aws.reference.conf (advanced config)

Answer 2

You need to supply the username and password for the Director server when using the bootstrap-remote command, for example:

... --lp.remote.username=admin --lp.remote.password=admin ...

This should have been included in our docs; we're working on that. (I work for Cloudera.)
