Since they are using different ports, I donot think there will be a problem. Only problem can arise because of namespace directory. I did not tested but should work in following steps: 1- Start NameNode. 2- change dfs.name.dir in hdfs-site.xml 3- start BackupNode

Can anyone shed some light on how to do that? Many thanks, Thanh
