In Vertica, the revive_db command allows you to restore a database from communal storage (e.g., S3, HDFS) onto a new cluster. This is useful for recovery, migration, or cluster duplication. The process rebuilds the catalog from communal metadata and works even if the original nodes are unavailable.
Environment
- Product: Vertica Analytics Platform
- Version: 12 and above
- Platform: Linux
Situation
You need to restore a Vertica database from communal storage to a new cluster after a failure, migration, or duplication scenario. Original nodes may be unavailable.
