Issue/Introduction

We have a 3 DR cluster of Vertica DB servers.  We would like to automate the restart of a vertica host within the cluster after patching and server reboot.  I found this KB article but wanted to see if there was a way to start the host back up without using the menu system of 'admintools'

 

Environment

CAPM 3.x

Resolution

The following commands will stop and start a node

-- stop a node

adminTools -t stop_node --hosts xx.xx.xx.xx

-- start a node

adminTools -t restart_node --hosts xx.xx.xx.xx -d DBNAME -p 'password'
