Hello, I downloaded Virtual Machine (M3) to play around and evaluate. My problem is, that upon VM startup apparently there is no running instance of Hadoop/anything else. None of the webpages bookmarked in bundled Firefox is responding.

Firefox itself started in "offline mode".

Is it possible that cause is my corporate proxy - i.e. VM has no internet access. If that is the case, can I run MapR without internet connection?

I restarted mapr-zookeper service and got running everything except CLDB.

The VM doesn't need internet access in order for the MapR functions to work. But, the VM does need an IPv4 address. To get that, you can either click on the Network Icon (which is to the right of the Power/Restart icon in the upper right of the VM) and select "Auto eth2", or you can just click on the Power/Restart icon and choose "Restart..." to get an IPv4 address in the process of restarting the VM. You'll have to wait anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute for all MapR processes to be available. To check and see that you have an IPv4 address, execute "ifconfig" and make sure that the eth2 interface has an "inet addr" (this is the internal IPv4 address; inet6 addr is the IPv6 address).

Thank you. Definitely there is IP address set, as this is VM running in VMWare player. I left VM idle after starting for some time (about hour or so), because I was busy doing other tasks, and saw that everything seemed to look fine.

I'll check again, but apparently one have to wait at least couple of minutes after VM is started. I think it may be worth noticing in guide.
