How to Install VMware Big Data Extensions

VMware Big Data Extension is a free vApp that you can download from VMware. It automates deployments of Hadoop clusters in a VMware environment. It is supported on vSphere version 5.1 and greater. There are 2 parts to VMware Big data extension, the Serengeti Server vApp and the Extension to vCenter. This blogs goes over basic deployment of the Serengeti vApp that is then used to deploy the extension (covered in the next blog post). A comprehensive guide for this install, along with HDFS integration to EMC Isilon storage can be freely downloaded here:

The master node runs a web service and Chef that allows deployments of hadoop clusters. For the master node, shared storage is the best choice. Using shared storage, you can protect the master node's virtual machine using vMotion, HA, and FT.
