Setting Up Clients and Services

Describes how to set up and use interfaces to an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster from a client computer.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric packages are contained in two different repositories:

Core packages: Contains the API server, the webserver, CLDB, the core HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric package, file server, the NFS servers, the gateway, various POSIX and thin clients, and ZooKeeper. The latest versions of these packages are at https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/.
EEP (previously MEP ) packages: These are the ecosystem packages and contain Drill, Hadoop, Hive, Livy, Pig, Spark, Tez, and Yarn. Available versions of these packages are at https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/MEP/.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric provides many interfaces for working with a cluster from a client computer. These interfaces are listed later on this page.

Prerequisites for Linux Hosts

Before you can set up clients on Linux hosts, you must:

Install the package key on the client machine. See Step 2: Import the Package Key.
Set up repositories. See Using the Data Fabric Repository (Installation).

After you have installed the package key and set up the repositories, use the steps in the following sections to install clients.
