Installing on Ubuntu 16 server

skunkwerk

I've downloaded 7.2.2 and have installed the Debian package, but when I try to run the post-install script like so:

 

sudo /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts 127.0.0.1 --deb vertica_7.2.2-1_amd64.deb --dba-user dbadmin --data-dir /mnt/data/vertica --ignore-aws-instance-type

 

I get this error:

Vertica Analytic Database 7.2.2-1 Installation Tool

 

Error: HALT(eS0322): Debian-based OS version 'stretch/sid' is not supported.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise VerticaAssertionError(msg, **kwargs)

VerticaAssertionError: HALT(eS0322): Debian-based OS version 'stretch/sid' is not supported.

Installation FAILED with errors.

 

How do I fix this?

 

thanks

Vertica is not currently supported on Ubuntu 16.  Use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS instead.

 

Hope that helps!

I've installed it on Ubuntu 14 now, but any time I try to create a new database with the admin tool, it just ends up stuck on the "Creating database" step.  I don't see any errors or anything.  The underlying folder where it's supposed to store the data is populated with:

 

port.dat  procedures  v_neo_node0001_catalog  v_neo_node0001_data

 

but it stays on the "creating database" screen for > 10 minutes and never returns.

 

How do I fix this?

In v_neo_node0001_catalog, open vertica.log and see if there are any clues as to why the database creation step is hanging.

thanks Chris, I ended up just restarting verticad and then it seemd to work.
