Update firewall settings so that the backup hosts can communicate with the Hadoop cluster.

Ensure that you have the valid certificates all the cluster nodes for a Hadoop cluster that is enabled with SSL (HTTPS).

Ensure that you have the valid PEM certificate file on the backup host.

Ensure that correct parameters are added in the hadoop.conf file for HTTP or HTTPS based clusters.
