Fermin:
The Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) Sandbox behaves differently on VMware clusters, servers, and the Workstation edition than it does on the VirtualBox server. Most of the HDP examples, links, and tutorials assume VirtualBox is hosting the Sandbox. As a result, some changes are required to access the Sandbox.
I do recommend a review of the installation guidance we provide for the VMware version of the HDP Sandbox. You can find it here: http://hortonworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InstallingHortonworksSandbox21onaMacUsingVMwareFusion.pdf
You’ll note that just after the HDP Sandbox comes up, on the console screen, a URL and SSH command are provided. On my local system, it printed these:
The addresses on your system will most likely be different.
When your system has finished booting, note that address. You can then access the HDP Sandbox by using URLs like the following:
http://<your_system_IP>:8000
Which, in my example above, would be:
For the examples and tutorials, just substitute your VM’s assigned IP address in place of the given 127.0.0.1, and I believe you’ll make some progress.
Happy hadooping!
