Installation Stalled at "Running Network Connectivity and Throughput Tests..."
Hello,
I new to Vertica. I''m trying to setup a aws cluster using the AMI at https://aws.amazon.com/amis/hp-vertica-analytics-platform-6-1-2-0-1374507686 and following the documentation at https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.1.x/PDF/HP_Vertica_6.1.x_Vertica_AWS.pdf.
I manage to get all the three instances running. However the following problems occurred:
#1. The manual is missing the configuration of an route in the Route Table: Destination=0.0.0.0/0 and Target the internet gateway (something like igw-xxx)
#2. The Amazon provided DNS does not seam to work, I had to manualy add to /etc/hosts the DNS entries. I do not intend to left this config like this but was the only way the install script allows me to continue the installation
#3. The command specified in the documentation does not seam to work I had to change it from:
RS

Running Network Connectivity and Throughput Tests...I have missed something in the instance setup? What can I do to trace back the root of the problem?

#4. The port 48073 used for the Connectivity and Throughput Tests is not listed to be opened in the security group, I ended up opening all internal traffic so don't know if any specific additional ports are needed
#5. Since amazon specifically states that no broadcasting is allowed (http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#R4) the install_vertica script need the -T option set:
[-T] direct transmit only: disallow UDP broadcast traffic
Hope this helps someone... I waste a lot of time with this bad documentation.
Did you have the opportunity to run the /opt/vertica/bin/vnetperf validation script during your testing?
If so, can you share the results?
Thanks.
- Because our latest AMI was not visible to you, you were using an earlier AMI with documentation intended for our later AMI. Due to Amazon changes, and AMI enhancements, the documentation changes from one release to another. You can find the latest documentation for our latest AMI here:
