Node migration from Vertica 5 to 7
Hi,
I'm here again with another problem related to installation proccess. So we have old cluster with vertica 5 and we are trying to migrate to vertica 7. So we excluded one node from old cluster, removed Vertica 5 (apt-get purge package_name) from it and installed Vertica 7. After that we tried to install this node into new cluster with command /opt/vertica/sbin/update_vertica --add-hosts new_node -r /home/user/vertica_7.1.1-0_amd64.deb -L /home/dbadmin/license.dat
And during its execution we have received this
>> Completing installation...

AdminTools and your existing Vertica databases may be unavailable.
Investigate the above warnings/errors and re-run installation.

88.212.226.86 - master node
91.243.116.34 - new node
So that was the moment when I was scared but cluster seems to be ok, up and running. But little investigation found following things: vertica 7 found old spread config in /opt/vertica/config/vspread.conf (no idea why it was not removed during vertica 5 uninstallation) and this config was copied to master node in the same location. All other nodes have spread config only in /home/dbadmin/stats3/v_stats3_node000<node_num>_catalog/spread.conf.
We fixed problem with network on master node that was mentioned in this message and tried to start installation process again as it was adviced. But we got message that node was already added into cluster.
So what we should do now? Is it safe to remove old spread config from this location?

Hi,
Can you share me the contents of adminTools-root.log

Is there anything specific that I should look for? it is pretty big even for one day and I'm afraid that there could be some sensitive data.
