Installing VMWare and vertica
Hi , I am rnew to Vertica ( and to open system in general). I am from a Database background in mainframe. Now trying to start learning by installing the community edition on my widows 7 machine 64 bit. I downloaded Vertica 7.0.0 x64 for VMware. It gave 2 files Vertica 7.0.0 x64 for VMware.vmdk and Vertica 7.0.0 x64 for VMware.vmx. Both these files dont open when I double click.
Are the above be elementary actually vertica software files or , are they related to the VM software? Do I need to install VMware separately for my windows 7 ?
thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Ganapathy,
You have downloaded the virtual machine. You can download and install the VMWare Player from https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0 and then open the Vertica 7.0.0 x64 for VMware.vmx file in it.
Thanks,

Thank you so much for the reply. I downloaded the VM player. However some intial problems like the enabling of BOIOS for Intel VT-x needs to be done. I get this error when I try to play the virtual machine. I will update the BIOS as needed and then try. thank you again.

Hi, I am new to vertica. I have installed vmplayer and the vertica community edition (Virtual machine version). When I run the .vmdk file it takes to vmplayer interface, saying welcome to vertica database server browser page. However, I am not able to see the database interface. What are the next steps I should do to run vertica database?
