Hello,

 

What does ipconfig or `ip addr` show for the machine at 192.168.0.1?

I believe that the installer is confused because you refer to the node as 192.168.0.1 but it doesn't have a local address by that name.

 

Is this a cluster or a single node?

 

Are you running AdminTools locally or from some other address?

 

Keep in mind that Vertica cannot run with NAT between hosts.

I am running local server for test purpose on VMWARE WORKSTATION 10. I was just thinking of doing NAT. Please advice if there is any other options.

If you are only installing on a single node and don't intend to later add more nodes to the database, you should use 127.0.0.1 as the hostname.
