I would like to apply the appropriate patches to my cluster:
3-nodes on Amazon standard AMI
select version() ;
Vertica Analytic Database v7.1.1-0
I see that several patches are listed on Vertica's customer ftp site.
Is there a roll-up patch, or must all of them be applied?
I assume they must be applied in sequence (1.1, 1,2 1.3...) - please confirm.
I see
RHEL5.rpm
SUSE.rpm
AMD64.deb
How can I determine which flavor is right for my cluster?
Many thanks for your help!

Re: Installing Patches
Hi!
Version XXX.YYY.ZZZ means:
It is always advised & better to follow recommended upgrade path which is
i.e. upgrade version of major fix to the most recent (6.0 > 6.1 > 6.2 > ...) and after it the release itself (6.MAX > 7.0 > 7.1 > 7.2 > ...)
PS
major fix YYY includes all minor fixes for major fix YYY-1
Version XXX.YYY.ZZZ means:
Code: Select all
XXX - release version
YYY - major fix/patch
ZZZ - minor fix/patch
Code: Select all
6.0.zzz >>> 6.1.zzz >>> 6.2.zzz >>> 6.3.zzz >>> ... >>> 7.0.zzz >>> 7.1.zzz >>> 7.2.zzz
PS
major fix YYY includes all minor fixes for major fix YYY-1

Re: Installing Patches
You need to figure out what Linux distro/version you are running:
