Hi,

 

I'm trying to install Vertica 8.0 on linux server (RHEL6), I've got one warning and one hint error and I want to omit this errors with this option --failure-threshold WARN but it doesn't work ...

 

My install command:

/opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts auric --rpm /home/vertica/RPM/vertica-8.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL6.rpm --dba-user vertica --dba-group dba --data-dir /usr3/vertica/data/ --failure-threshold WARN

 

My log:

Thanks for your help

       Actually the WARN threadshold is the default one. If a WARN or greater issue is encountered the installation will stop.

     

      You need to run a default install first and list your errors or warning, try to fix errors and then run install with 

    --failure-threshold NONE

     

      In your errors case you need to create those direcotries and grant verticadba & dbadmin user full access before you run the install cmd.

      BTW you can create the user and groups before the install, Vertica will just validate the existance of them.

     

    Hope this helps

    What directory are you talking about ?

     

    About io scheduler which must be permanent or noop, I don't why I've got this error, see below:

     

    [vertica@auric ~]$ ls -alrt /dev/mapper
    total 0
    crw-rw----  1 root root 10, 58 Jan 23 15:02 control

    Hi,

    Your scheduler should be deadline to change that add this to your /etc/rc.local file 

    echo deadline > /sys/block/<volume name eg: xvdb>/queue/scheduler

    See this link for more info https://my.vertica.com/docs/8.0.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/InstallationGuide/BeforeYouInstall/IOScheduling.htm

     

      As for the folders , i was reffering to folders where you want Vertica to be installed and have its catalog + data file in.

     

     

    Also you can skipp CPU frequnecy if you run in AWS or virtual machines, you wont  be able to change it anyway to just use failure NONE
