Hi,

Can I have an update on my previous post? I'm getting the following error message while installing
vertica-client-6.1.0-0.x86_64.rpm on top of vertica-6.1.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm.

# rpm -ivh vertica-client-6.1.0-0.x86_64.rpm

Hi,

It looks like you already have the 6.1.1 rpm installed. You don't want to install an older version (6.1.0) on top of it!

Run the command: rpm -qa | grep -i vertica

What is the result of that command?
Thanks,
Juliette

Hi,

Here is the output of the "rpm -qa". The question is do I need to install vertica client as well? if so, where to find vertica-client-6.1.1.


# rpm -qa | grep -i vertica

vertica-6.1.1-0

Hi,

You don't need to install the client on the server where you installed the Vertica database! The client, vsql, is installed automatically.

Just su to the dbadmin user (or whatever Linux user is the super user for your database) and type vsql <enter>. Assuming your database is up you should be logged in.
Thanks,
Juliette
