your cluster.
System
requirements
Linux
x86_64
Installation
a)
Log
on to the primary host as the cluster administrator and stop the SparkCleanup
service:
>
egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin
>
egosh service stop SparkCleanup
b)
On
each of your hosts, download the following package
to, for example, a /scfixes directory:
conductorsparkcore-2.4.1.0_x86_64_build553223.tar.gz
c)
On
each of your hosts, run the egoinstallfixes command to install the
downloaded package:
>
egoinstallfixes /scfixes/conductorsparkcore-2.4.1.0_x86_64_build553223.tar.gz
Note: Running the egoinstallfixes command
automatically backs up the current binary files to a fix backup directory for
recovery purposes. Do not delete this backup directory; you will need it if you
want to recover the original files. For more information on using this
command, see the egoinstallfixes command reference.
d)
On
each of your hosts, run the pversions command to
verify the installation:
>
pversions -b 553223
e)
Add the following environment variables to the SparkCleanup service profile:
1.
From the cluster
management console, navigate to System & Services > EGO Services >
Service Profiles > Other Services.
2.
Click SparkCleanup
to open
its service prolife.
3.
Navigate to the ego:ActivitySpecification section of the
service profile, and from the Actions list, select Insert “ego:EnvironmentVariable”.
4.
Add these new environment variables:
Name: EVENT_LOG_CLEANUP
Value: true|false
Description: Use this environment
variable to enable or disable SparkCleanup from cleaning up Spark’s spark.eventLog.dir event log.
Name:
EVENT_LOG_RETENTION_IN_MINS
Value: Any
positive integer
Description: Use this environment
variable to specify the time, in minutes, that the SparkCleanup service will
use to determine if a complete file is old enough to be deleted.
Name: EVENT_LOG_INCOMPLETE_RETENTION_IN_MINS
Value: Any
positive integer
Description: Optionally use this environment variable to specify the time, in minutes, that the SparkCleanup service will use to determine if an incomplete file is old enough to be deleted. This may be useful, for example, if Spark crashes and an *.inprogress file is left over in the event log directory.
g)
From the primary host, start the SparkCleanup service:
>
egosh service start SparkCleanup
5.
