Post deployment steps to use CDP on Azure

After Kyvos deployment gets completed, perform the following steps to configure Kyvos to use CDP on Azure:

  1. Configure the CDP cluster to access the storage account used by Kyvos from within Spark jobs.

    1. Log in to the Cloudera management console and go to Data Hub Clusters.

    2. Open the Cloudera Manager application by clicking the CM URL link, as shown in the following figure.

    3. On the Compute cluster, open Spark configurations from the Services dropdown.

    4. On the Configuration tab, search for the yarn.access.hadoopFileSystems property, and replace the existing value with the location of the container used in Kyvos. If you do not find the property, then add a new property with value as the container location.
      For example:
      yarn.access.hadoopFileSystems=abfs://data@kyvoscdp.dfs.core.windows.net,abfs://kyvoscontainer92604@kyvos33333.dfs.core.windows.net
      Here, the highlighted part is added to the existing value.

    5. Restart affected services.

  2. Configure IDBroker mapping for Kyvos user on CDP, using the following steps.

    1. On the navigation pane, click Environments, and then click Actions > Manage Access.

    2. Click the IDBroker Mappings tab and add user or group by clicking the Edit option in the Current Mappings section.

    3. Click the plus icon to add a user or group, select a user or group from the dropdown, and enter a role in the Role input.

    4. Click Save and Sync .

  3. Ensure that the CDP DataAssumerRole is assigned to the Kyvos storage account with Storage blob data contributor.

  4. Add cacerts file from /opt to /data/kyvos/app/kyvos/jre/jre/lib/security folder on all nodes (Kyvos Manager, BI Server, and Query Engines). This file is added from the CDP master node to /opt at the time of image creation.

  5. Make the Host entry in /etc/hosts of CDP master hostname with CDP master private IP address on BI server nodes.

  6. Change vendor from Databricks to Cloudera from Kyvos Manager, using the following steps.

    1. Log on to Kyvos Manager, and navigate to Manage Kyvos > Hadoop Ecosystem Configuration.

    2. Change the value for vendor from DATABRICKS to CLOUDERA .

    3. Change file system type from ABFSS to ABFS.

    4. In the HDInsights Home field, provide the value as /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/meta/

      Refer to the Cloudera documentation to download the Keytab file .

    3. Upload local policy jar and US export policy jar.

  8. Go back to Hadoop Ecosystem Configurations  screen on Kyvos Manager. Select both Sync Library and Sync Configurations and submit.

  9. Click Apply from the top-right of the screen.

  10. Change the owner of azcopy executable file from adminuser to kyvos.

    1. Location : /data/kyvos/installs/bin

    2. This needs to be done on all nodes for Kyvos Manager, BI Server, and Query engines.

    3. Restart the Kyvos services.
