    Issue Resolved ............Directories were not having appropriate permissions so recovery process was not able to write.

    :) - But what version of Vertica is this? admintools should give a better error message. I can open a Jira.

    There was an issue starting the database and not all nodes were started. x
    x The database will be shutdown.

    The workaround was to do not press enter after message "Press RETURN to continue" the nodes will recover and will be up.

    Another potential jira for you @Jim_Knicely
