Using the web-based MCS to install the license
Procedure
-
On a machine that is connected to the cluster and to the Internet, perform the following
steps to open the MapR Control System and install the license:
-
In a browser, view the MapR Control System by navigating to the node that is running
the MapR Control System:
https:/<webserver>/:8443
Your computer won't have an HTTPS certificate yet, so the browser will warn you that the connection is not trustworthy. You can ignore the warning this time. - The first time MapR starts, you must accept the Terms of Use and choose whether to enable the MapR Dial Home service.
- Log in to the MapR Control System (MCS) as the administrative user you designated earlier. Until a license is applied, the MapR Control System dashboard might show some nodes in the amber "degraded" state. Don't worry if not all nodes are green and "healthy" at this stage.
-
In a browser, view the MapR Control System by navigating to the node that is running
the MapR Control System:
- In the navigation pane of the MapR Control System, expand the System Settings group and click Manage Licenses to display the MapR License Management dialog.
-
Click Add Licenses via Web.
- If the cluster is already registered, the license is applied automatically. Otherwise, click OK to register the cluster on MapR.com and follow the instructions there.
- On the MCS > System Settings > Manage Licenses, click Apply Licenses.
