Informatica Big Data Management Installation Process

You can install Big Data Management in a single node or cluster environment.

Installing in a Single Node Environment

You can install Big Data Management in a single node environment.
  1. 1. Extract the Big Data Management tar.gz file to the machine.
  2. 2. Install Big Data Management by running the installation shell script in a Linux environment.

Installing in a Cluster Environment

You can install Big Data Management in a cluster environment.
  1. 1. Extract the Big Data Management tar.gz file to a machine on the cluster.
  2. 2. Install Big Data Management by running the installation shell script in a Linux environment. You can install Big Data Management from the primary name node or from any machine using the HadoopDataNodes file.
    3. Add the IP addresses or machine host names, one for each line, for each of the nodes in the Hadoop cluster in the HadoopDataNodes file. During the Big Data Management installation, the installation shell script picks up all of the nodes from the HadoopDataNodes file and copies the Big Data Management binary files to the /<BigDataManagementInstallationDirectory>/Informatica directory on each of the nodes.
