Install of Vertica 7 fails (install_vertica script)

Post by sarah » Wed Apr 30, 2014 9:50 pm

Hi,

I am trying to perform a simple install of Vertica 7 on a single node cluster. I can install the rpm fine, but the install script is failing with an error on the -r option? I don't know why :(

Code: Select all

[root@vertica-demo2 temp]# ls
vertica-6.1.3-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm  vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm
[root@vertica-demo2 temp]# rpm -qa | grep -i vertica
vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64
[root@vertica-demo2 temp]# /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica -s localhost –r vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm
Vertica Analytic Database 7.0.1-0 Installation Tool

usage: 
  # install or update:
  install_vertica --hosts host1,host2,host3 --rpm vertica.rpm
  install_vertica --hosts 192.168.1.101,192.168.1.101,192.168.1.102 \
          --rpm vertica.rpm

  # add or remove nodes
  install_vertica --add-hosts host4 --rpm vertica.rpm
  install_vertica --remove-hosts host4

  # get the full detailed help
  install_vertica --help
install_vertica: error: unrecognized arguments: –r vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm
Installation FAILED with errors.

Installation stopped before any changes were made.
Have a GREAT day!

Oh my! Skwa, it was a dash instead of a hyphen in front of the r! I cut and pasted the command from a Word document someone else created. Maybe Word replaced the hyphen with a dash per spellcheck? Anyway, much thanks!
Have a GREAT day!
