Description

On the last step "Start all" on enabling HA below happens:

Safe mode will be turned off automatically once the thresholds have been reached."
  }
}

This happens because NN is not yet out of safemode at the moment of ats start, because DNs just started.

To fix this "stop namenodes" has to be triggered before "start all".

If this is done, on "Start all" it will be ensured that datanodes start prior to NN, and that NN are out of safemode before ATS start.
