You need access to a repository that can provide the dialog package...

Example:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

You can always manually download and install the dialog rpm...
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/dialog-1.2-5.20130523.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-appstream-x86_64/dialog-1.3-13.20171209.el8.x86_64.rpm.html

@Jim_Knicely we are using CentOS release 6.7 (Final)... i can't see any packages for it.

I would seriously consider upgrading the OS and Vertica!

You can get access to older rpms, but be cautious. OS's are deprecated for a reason.

Note: The dialog package is not a Vertica package.

Thanks @Jim_Knicely for the suggestion we are already planning to upgrade os.
We are planning to have a new cluster with centos 8 and we will use different rac for it.
Currently we have 21 nodes in our cluster and we want to replicate this into a smaller cluster(ie of 10 nodes) with high performing disks.
What is the best strategy as we have 10K plus tables?
