This seems to work so far, in case someone else runs into the same problem:

This is because ambari-server does not install a service definition file in: /usr/lib/systemd/system/ambari-server.service I can't find anything in the Ambari git repo referencing systemd, so maybe this hasn't been addressed yet? I think what maybe happened was that RHEL/CentOS provided a shim to use the old sysvinit init script with systemd and they have now either removed or broken that. Does anyone have a working systemd service definition for ambari-agent and ambari-server by chance? Otherwise, I'll figure out how to write one I guess (first time for everything). Greg
