Hi all,
I’m having difficulties to install Vertica on top of Ubuntu server 14.04 in a Canonical Openstack environment.
I performed the necessary preparation steps. When I run install_vertica script, I get the following output:
root@vertica-ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts 127.0.0.1 --deb /home/ubuntu/vertica_setup/vertica_8.0.1-0_amd64.deb

Installation FAILED with errors.
Installation stopped before any changes were made.
Then I search on the net about this error and one recommendation was to use “--ignore-install-config” switch and I tried it:
root@vertica-ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts 127.0.0.1 --deb /home/ubuntu/vertica_setup/vertica_8.0.1-0_amd64.deb --ignore-install-config

AdminTools and your existing Vertica databases may be unavailable.
Investigate the above warnings/errors and re-run installation.

So as you can see from the output, installation is failing to start because of the same error, shown in yellow.
Can you help me on this matter?
