Hi,

I am trying to run the install_vertica script in the /opt/vertica/sbin directory, and I get the error below. Note, I am logged in as root. Should I preconfigure something before running the script?

./install_verticaVertica Analytic Database 7.0.1-0 Installation Tool


>> Validating options...

Upgrading admintools meta data format..
scanning /opt/vertica/config/users
Error: No machines will be included in the cluster!
Hint: provide --hosts.
Installation FAILED with errors.

Installation stopped before any changes were made.

    Hello Osiris,

    What is the exact install_vertica command you are running?

    Thanks,

    As the message said you need to do

    install_vertica -s <ip/s or host/s name of the machine that you want to install vertica> -r <the location of the rpm>

    As stated above you need to supply the hosts as a parameter of the install command. The link to the install documentation is very accurate and will help you.

    Osiris,

     

    if you want to setup a single node cluster, use your local loopback address as host address otherwise for a cluster supply address of the other nodes. Do refer the install guide for detailed info.

    Please note that if you use the loopback address (127.0.0.1), then you cannot add any additional nodes to form a cluster in the future.

    Thanks,

    Hi I cant find the install_vertica script or the directory "sbin" in /opt/vertica/
    This is after I have installed the HP Vertica package. Am I doing something wrong? Running version:7.0.1-0 on redhat linux

    Hi Kenneth,

    Have you installed the Vertica RPM?  (Or .deb, on Debian/Ubuntu.)

    If not, try doing that before looking for install_vertica.  If so, make sure you're installing the correct package.  Also make sure that you don't have some configuration-management program (such as puppet, etc) that is deleting the package's files because it doesn't recognize them.

    Did you visit the suggested doc site?

    https://my.vertica.com/docs/8.1.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0305

    It let's you know how to fix your issue :smile: It's just a warning, but it's a good idea to set the TZ environment variable.
