Vertica 7.1 VM : Not being able to use MC or trying to take back up

Hi,

I installed vertica 7.1.1 virtual machine on my VMWare. The installation apparently working fine. I can follow the basic examples like creating a database (VMart), getting some data from it etc. But to experiment with MC, I installed the same vertica-console-7.1.1.0]

[dbadmin@vertica Desktop]$ rpm -qa | grep vertica
vertica-7.1.1-0
vertica-console-7.1.1-0

Now, when I am trying to access the console with the port it specified:
https://vertica:5450/webui
I get a time out error. The Firewall is disabled in the VM. So I can not access MC.

Now coming to problem 2, when I try to do the back up example, the back up fails as it can not connect to host.


[dbadmin@vertica Desktop]$ vbr.py --task backup --config-file exampleBackup.iniPreparing...
Found Database port:  5433
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection timed out
Unable to ssh to host: 192.168.1.1
backup failed!

Firewall is anyway not running, I checked /etc/init.d/sshd service is running. I tried vsql -l followed by echo $?, the result looks good [Refered to https://community.vertica.com/vertica/topics/how_to_tell_if_vertica_is_ready_to_accept_connections] Entries in

/etc/hosts file looks legitimate.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.1.1             vertica

I tried to go refer https://community.vertica.com/vertica/topics/unable-to-create-first-database-in-vertica-on-centos , but not sure if I have same problem here.

Can anyone please let me know what is the issue I have here. Am I missing anything very basic?

Note: I work behind proxy, is that has anything to do?
Thanks.
