Kinit on the DataNodes

This topic describes kinit on the DataNodes.

On the DataNodes, run: # kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/dn.service.keytab dn/DN_HOSTNAME@REALM_NAME.
where,
  • DN_HOSTNAME is the DataNode host name (FQDN).
  • REALM_NAME is the KDC Realm.
  • dn is the Kerberos DataNode naming convention created during Kerberos setup.

For example: kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/dn.service.keytab dn/c902f05x01.gpfs.net@IBM.COM.

If in a non-root environment, ensure that you run this command with sudo privilege.
