Failure attempting to Create Database after new install

Hello,

Immediately following a fresh install on 3 hosts, I try to create a DB via admintools and get the following output. Hosts 02 and 03 never move from the (DOWN) state.  Any ideas on what the cause could be?

Thanks,

Matt

  • Some further info, the contents of dbLog from each node:

    dbadmin@host01:/data/MattTestDB$ more dbLog
    Connected to spread at host 10.0.0.239(10.0.0.239) port 4803

    dbadmin@host02:/data/MattTestDB# more dbLog
    Connected to spread at host 10.0.0.240(10.0.0.240) port 4803

    dbadmin@host03:/data/MattTestDB# more dbLog
    Connected to spread at host 10.0.0.241(10.0.0.241) port 4803





  • Interestingly, if I try and create a DB from a different node, I get a similar effect, but it is always the node local to the instance of admintools which reports UP while the other two are down. This seems to imply some connectivity issue but I don't know what:

  • Hi Matt,

    Hm...  Yes, that does sound like a connectivity issue of some sort.  Do you have any sort of firewall between your nodes?  In particular, is UDP traffic able to get through smoothly?  We rely on UDP for a lot of our initialization and control messages; it's also, unfortunately, often blocked or lossy on certain types of networks, and so needs a little more configuration...

    Have you run Vertica's "vnetperf" tool?  It may give you some pointers about network configuration:
