ERROR: Can only add or remove nodes with update_vertica, use install_vertica instead

Problem:

When I follow the instructions in the manual I do this: 
[root@vertica1 ~]# /opt/vertica/sbin/update_vertica -S default -s host1,host2,host3 -r /tmp/vertica-6.1.2-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm 
ERROR: Can only add or remove nodes with update_vertica, use install_vertica instead 

And get that error - how do I apply the upgrade?

Solution:

Per the Vertica documentation, the update_vertica script no longer needs the -s hosts option during upgrade. Upgrade using the following syntax:

/opt/vertica/sbin/update_vertica -S default -r /path/to/vertica-6.1.2-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm

    Suggested by Amy in other topic. You can use install_vertica or just remove everything after the small "-s" For example # ./update_vertica -S default -r /tmp/vertica/vertica-6.1.2-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm
