Extracting the installation package

You must extract the Big Data Protector package to access the Big Data Protector Configurator script. This script will generate the Big Data Protector parcels and CSDs to install the Big Data Protector on all the nodes in the cluster. The nodes in the cluster are managed by Cloudera Manager.

To extract the files from the installation package:

1. Log in to the CLI on the Master node that has connectivity to ESA.

2. Copy the Big Data Protector package BigDataProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_CDP-PVC-Base-7.1-64_<BDP_version>.tgz to any directory.

   For example, /opt/bigdata/.

3. To create a temporary directory under the specified directory, to extract the files, run the following command:

   mkdir /opt/bigdata/extracted/
   

4. To navigate to the directory where you have downloaded the installation package, run the following command:

   cd /opt/bigdata/
   

5. To extract the contents of the Big Data Protector installation package to a specific directory, run the following command:

   tar –xvf BigDataProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_CDP-PVC-Base-7.1-64_<BDP_version>.tgz -C extracted/
   

6. To navigate to the directory where you have extracted the files, run the following command:

   cd /opt/bigdata/extracted/
   

7. Press ENTER.

   The command extracts the BigDataProtector_Linux-ALL-64_x86-64_CDP-PVC-Base-7.1-64_<BDP_version>.tgz package and the GPG signature files from the installation package.
