I'm trying to upgrading vertica from 6.1.3 to 7.0.2 
I'm using community edition.
Doing it on RED HAT VMs.

During the update_vertica statement it is failing with the error below:
>> Validating node and cluster prerequisites...
Error: Command failed on '192.168.56.110':

        returncode = -1
System prerequisites failed.  Threshold = NONE
        Hint: Fix above failures or use --failure-threshold
Installation FAILED with errors.

Please let me know what to check and correct to get it going correct.

    Hi Sundeep,

    Assuming the dbadmin user exists on both nodes, change the failure-threshold to HALT and omit the -u, -p, and -P arguments (you will be prompted for the root password to login to the other node) and re-run the update-vertica script.

    I tried as mentioned in your comments but still the same error:

    Try running it again, but also omit the failure-threshold option.  Modifying failure threshold allows you to bypass system checks and continue installing (even though you may be bypassing a serious issue).  Please provide the complete list of failures, warnings, and hints that the installer is returning.
  • sunkupulisunkupuli
    Its the same error output:

  • Chris_CChris_C
    Can you verify that the firewall is disabled on .111. Or can you at least turn the firewall off temporarily and try and run the update-vertica script?
  • sunkupulisunkupuli
    The firewall is disabled on both the nodes.

    But i stopped them again as below and ran the update_vertica statement. Now i got different erros:

    Ok, now make sure the firewalls are off, and re-run with failure-threshold = HALT.  The firewall was blocking something, but the installer check was failing for some reason.
  • sunkupulisunkupuli
    it worked
    thanks for your help

    Thanks

    You're welcome! Keep in mind that you can improve performance if you fix the issues marked as FAIL.
