All, I am getting the error on the console at the last phase of the installation: Installation failed. Failed to receive heartbeat from agent Server Log: 2012-12-19 00:32:12,132 INFO [NodeConfiguratorThread-4- 0:node.NodeConfiguratorProgress@503] 192.168.1.100: Setting WAIT_FOR_HEARTBEAT as failed and done state All nodes (name node and (2)client nodes) are VM's running 64bit CentOS. sshd has been enabled on all nodes, and VM's are set to Bridge. Any clue on how to fix this error?
