- Linux iptables (firewall) has some non-trivial rules in tables: mangle, security, raw, filter
Cause
These messages can be seen even if you have iptables / firewalld disabled due to the way Vertica is checking for the port availability. Vertica is trying to make sure a rule is in place in the firewall configuration to allow communication so even if you disable the firewall entirely there will not be a rule in place and the check will fail.
Environment
Release: IMDAGG99000-3.6-Infrastructure Management-Data Aggregator

Resolution
If you run into this situation and have simply opeted to disable the firewall instead of opening the ports through it, the only resolution is to ensure:
1. The firewall is disabled and all required ports are available for communication.
2. No other installation warnings are seen when trying to install Vertica
If the above is correct then you will need to add the following parameter to the drinstall.properties file. Please keep in mind that if there are any other WARN messages that would normally fail the installation, setting this parameter will ignore them. This could lead to catastrophic and yet unknown / unseen problems occurring later on post install.
This will allow WARN conditions so that the install completes. The install will only fail and exit if any FAIL conditions are met. The parameter can be set anywhere in the drinstall.properties file. After setting this parameter, re-run the dr_install.sh script

Additional Information
The AllowVerticaInstallWarnings parameter for the CA Performance Management script essentially sets the Vertica failure-threshold to the desired level. Refer to the Vertica documentation for additional information:
