This section describes things you need to do to start using the Installer.
Installer Prerequisites and Guidelines
The node on which you run the installer and the nodes you plan to include in your cluster must meet certain user, connectivity, and security requirements.
Selecting an Installer Version to Use
Beginning with the MEP 6.2 release, several Installer versions are available for use. The version that you use depends on your current core version and whether or not you need to upgrade using the Installer or Stanzas.
Using mapr-setup.sh
This topic describes how you can use and run the Installer setup script.
Updating the Installer
Update the Installer to include the latest ecosystem packages and installer fixes. Once you update the Installer, you can install ecosystem components and software versions that were made available after you first configured the Installer.
Checking the Installer Version
Some Installer features require you to use the latest version of the Installer. You can check the Installer version easily from within the user interface.
Checking the MEP Version
Some Installer operations require you to know the version of the currently installed Ecosystem Pack (MEP). You can check the MEP version easily from within the Installer user interface or derive the MEP version from your repository information.
Checking the Core Version
Some maintenance operations require you to know the version of the currently installed HPE Ezmeral Data Fabricrelease (sometimes referred to as the "core version"). You can check the core version easily from within the Control System or Installer user interface or identify the version from your installed packages.
