Extending the CDH cluster with BDA software version 2.3.1 fails running step 2:

The following succeeds creating the mammoth-params file:

[root@bdanode01 BDAMammoth]# ./mammoth -e bdanode07 3
INFO: Logging all actions in /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/bdanode01-20140122192527.log and traces in /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/bdanode01-20140122192527.trc

SUCCESS: Successfully generated parameter file mammoth-<RACK_NAME>-1.params



However the following error is seen while running step 2 of the mammoth installation:

[root@bdanode01 BDAMammoth]# ./mammoth -s 2
INFO: Logging all actions in /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/STEP-02-20140122192620.log and traces in /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/STEP-02-20140122192620.trc

ERROR: An Appliance of name <RACK_NAME> has already been installed.

The trace shows that it failed at step 2:

# cat /opt/oracle/BDAMammoth/bdaconfig/tmp/STEP-02-20140122192646.trc
