Overview
This topic lists the high-level workflow for deploying an IBM StorageĀ® Scale CES HDFS based environment with CDP Private Cloud Base.

- Designate separate nodes for IBM Storage Scale CES HDFS and CDP Private Cloud Base clusters.
- Set up the CES HDFS cluster:
- Install the CES HDFS HA cluster.
- If you need Kerberos, enable Kerberos on the CES HDFS cluster.
- Verify the installation.
- Set up the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster:
- Install the Cloudera Manager.
- Optional: Enable Kerberos on the Cloudera Manager.
- Optional: Enable Auto-TLS on the Cloudera Manager (TLS is supported from CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.6).
- Deploy IBM Storage Scale CSD and restart the Cloudera Manager.
- Create a new CDP Private Cloud Base cluster. Select the IBM Storage Scale service along with Yarn, Zookeeper, and other services as needed.
- Enable NameNode HA in the IBM Storage Scale service and restart all the services.
- Verify the installation.
Important: Adding the IBM Storage Scale
service to an HDFS based CDP Private Cloud Base cluster is not supported. You must choose IBM Storage Scale service when you are creating a new CDP
Private Cloud Base cluster.
