Vertica upgrade failed on RHEL 6.8

Hello Team,

 

Vertica rpm upgrade from 7.0 to vertica-7.1.2 failed with the following error

 

vertica  exists, stop vertica and run upgrade

Stopping ovc .......

Stopping Vertica Database.....

Upgrading Vertica from 7.0 to 7.1 .....

Vertica rpm upgrade failed. Error code : 2

 

Vertica rpm upgrade failed from 7.0 to 7.1. and also noticed that installed rpm  package of vertica on the node is  vertica-7.1.2-0.x86_64.

 

It seems to be the Vertica Version 7.0 installer introduces platform verification tests that prevent the install/upgrade from continuing if the platform requirements are not met by the system.

 

Does vertica-7.1.2 supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago) on the node? Please clarify

 

Thanks in Advance!

  • Hi, 

     

    vertica does not check if you are installing it in a supported platform, this may be different issue, You can find more details in /opt/vertica/log/install.log. I have seen this error in the past with wrong folder permissions. 

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Justin,

     

    I have made installation on Centos 7 for this edition, but yes that should be a problem. You can lways go to Vertica 8.0 which is the latest
