Installing Vertica on HP cloud (need confirmation on which unix flavour is supported)

Sandip_Paul

Hello Experts, I am trying out my hand at installing the latest community edition. On my HP cloud account, the flavours available are attached in the image - need your confirmation on which one would be the best fit for installing the CE. I tried with one of the Ubuntu flavours, but got a message saying "this version of the OS is unsupported". Thanks a lot for the help !

Hi! If it's a production: the only choice is CentOS 5 or 6 (https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.1.x/HP_Vertica_6.1.x_Supported_Platforms.pdf). I will recommend version 6. If it's test/dev environment - so choose what you know. PS For installing on UBUNTU/DEBIAN: 1. DEBIAN: https://community.vertica.com/vertica/topics/vertica_6_1_2_debian_7_installaction_workaround 2.
