Vertica rpm 9.2 licensed version

hdk0310

Hi ,

Question 1:
I need to upgrade vertica from 9.1 to 9.2. Can i install the rpm file from vertica.com and provide it the license file while up-gradation. Or is it better to reach customer support for 9.2 rpm file. Does the rpm file differ for license customer and CE. I have 13 nodes cluster with one node in Stand by.

Question 2:
Is there any additional measure which has to be taken while upgrading 13 node cluster having 1 node as Stand by in it.

Thanks

As a customer, I'd contact support to get the latest version of 9.2 (i.e. 9.2.0-2).

After installing the RPM, you need to run the Vertica installer (/opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica). Using the --license command line option to silently and automatically deploy the license key to /opt/vertica/config/share. On multi-node installations, the –-license option also applies the license to all nodes declared in the --hosts host_list. To activate your license, use the –-license option with the –-accept-eula option.
