Installing a fresh install (not an upgrade) of Mammoth version 2.0.1 fails at step 12. The puppet scripts failed on one of the nodes:

ERROR: Puppet agent run on node bda01node03 had errors. List of errors follows

Jan 22 13:15:02 bda01node01 puppet-master[25994]: (//bda01node03.example.com//Stage[main]/Hadoop::Startsvc2/Exec[setup_scm]/returns) change from notrun to 0 failed: /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/setupscm.sh &> /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/setupscm.out returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/puppet/modules/hadoop/manifests/startsvc2.pp:247

On node03 the log file (/opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/setupscm.out) just shows this:

Result Message is: "Validation of directories of namenode (bda01node02) failed. See error log for details. See error message and logs for cause of failure. After addressing the cause of failure, press 'Retry'. Alternatively, revert the performed steps using the 'Disable High Availability' action and try 'Enable High Availability' again. Note that the contents of the shared edits directory and the Standby NameNode's name directories need to be deleted before trying again. If this is undesirable, perform the remaining steps manually using the commands available in 'Actions'.",

The BDA install log on node01 shows a similar message:
