Hi all

Excuse me for my English, I hope you can help me.

I've been trying to install vertica in clusters for several days. I have already performed the procedures indicated in the manual, you can connect via SSH on both servers without asking for a password, but every time I give install_vertica -nodo -file -user --Failure-Threshold NONE (example:./install_vertica -s 10.0.10.201,10.0.10.202 -P ***** -i /root/ftp/vertica_9.1.1-0_amd64.deb -u dbadmin --failure-threshold NONE) I get the following error.

Error: /root/ftp/vertical_9.1.1-0_amd64.deb is not passwordless SSH private key or could not be accessed.
Hint: --ssh-identity can only accept unprotected private keys. Use an SSH agent for password protected keys. See online documentation for more information
Installation FAILED with errors.

I have tried everything, I have read many forums, blogs and manuals and nothing that I get a solution.

Can you help me?

Instead of -i, shouldn't you be using -r?

./install_vertica -s 10.0.10.201,10.0.10.202 -P ***** -r /root/ftp/vertica_9.1.1-0_amd64.deb -u dbadmin --failure-threshold NONE

@LuisGon10 - I edited your post to remove the password in your install command. Please try not to post any passwords for your databases safety :)

Because I'm using Debian as an operating system, that's why I use -i and not -r.

Thank you @Jim_Knicely

@LuisGon10 : We need to use -r to specify package name irrespective of flavour of OS as jim mentioned.

-i is used to specify ssh-identity file. Hence your installation is failing with the above error.

Please check the below documentation for installation options and description for the same.

Thanks @Jim_Knicely, your recommendation worked, only that I changed the -i to the - deb that refers to Debian
