There is no specific procedure for configuring virtual machine slaves.
make sure the following thing are done. 1. All machine's(both VM's and physical machines) public key are distributed to all "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" file. 2. conf/hadoop-site.xml file is similar for all the machines. 3. etc/hosts file must contain all the machines(VM,Physical machine) IP and Hostname. 4. conf/slaves must contain hostname of all slaves including VM's and physical machine. 5. conf/masters must contain only master's hostname. 6. both conf/masters and conf/slaves files must be similar in all the participating machines. 7. hadoop home directory should be same for all the machines like "/root/hadoop-0.18.2/" 8. finally execute the Namenode -format command only in the Master machine. -----Original Message----- From: arulP [mailto:arulprakas...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 5:19 PM To: core-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: using virtual slave machines In hadoop cluster management ,im trying to replace the physical machine slaves to virtual machine slaves.whether there is any change in procedure.
