    What version of Vertica?

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

  • Jim_KnicelyJim_Knicely - Select Field - Administrator

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

    Server startup was successful on some nodes, but not complete

    Press RETURN to continue

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

  • SK21SK21 Vertica Customer

    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
