    I believe that if it is a space issue, you'd get this error: "cpio: write failed - No space left on device".

  • Any suggestion on what could be the problem we are able to do SCP of files between the cluster boxes with root user

    A quick Google search shows:

    "inappropriate ioctl for device" is the error string for the ENOTTY error. It used to be triggerred primarily by attempts to configure terminal properties (e.g. echo mode) on a file descriptor that was no terminal (but, say, a regular file), hence ENOTTY. ... When stdout is not a terminal this fails with the IOCTL message.

    How are they trying to install the Vertica RPM? I'm guessing not from a command line.

  • Hi Jim,

    rpm is first transferred over to other nodes using ssh and then triggered

    For what it's worth, in normal install the rpm is installed on a host, and then the Vertica install script copies the rpm to the other hosts in the cluster and remotely kicks of install. So if this is the first rpm install on the first host it should have nothing to do with scp or ssh. Have they tried downloading the distrib from the Vertica site and retried? Maybe a corrupted rpm file. You can check the file by copying it to a junk dir and using either:
    rpm2cpio filename.rpm | cpio -idmv
    or
    tar xvf filename.rpm (I think this is newer versions of tar only)

    I hope it helps.
