While install vertica how can i install it on exist user? — Vertica Forum

While install vertica how can i install it on exist user?

Hey, I want to install vertica but without adding any new dba-users.

I used : 
/opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts node01,node02,node03
--rpm /tmp/vertica_7.0.x.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm --dba-user mydba

but how i choose my exist linux user if i had one and not creating new instead?


Thanks, benny.

  • Hi Benny,

    Interesting question. But i dont think that can work as the ssh would have trouble connecting to the different user ids across the cluster of nodes. I might be wrong though. Someone please shine the light on this.

    A.
  • In the above example, mydba can be an existing user. If the user does not exist, it will be created.
  • Nop, when i do it, i got "User is already exist." and the installation is cenceled.
  • When the user exists and it is not created as Vertica expects, you need to provide some additional information (see install doc) --dba-user --dba-group --dba-user-home
  • Great Allright thank you very much.
