Issue/Introduction

Upgrading our test environment and the upgrade on the vertica database failed. The dr_validate .sh came back successful and when running the dr_install.sh after stopping the vertica database came back with this:

Installing rpm on 2 hosts....

installing node....  x.x.x.29

Install failed on x.x.x.29

 

(x.x.x.29) Installation failed: Shutting down vertica services for upgrade Stopping vertica  Vertica Analytic Database V9.1.1-5 successfully installed on host <hostname

  warning: erase unlink of /opt/vertica/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.1e failed: No such file or directory

Installation FAILED with errors.

Environment

Release : 3.7.10

Component : IM Data Aggregator

Cause

This was an older system that was being upgraded.

As a result, the target directory for extracting the install media:

/opt/CA/IMDataRepository_vertica9

Already existed.

When we unpacked into this directory, only some files got overwritten.

Resolution

Extract installDR.bin to a unique directory.

E.G. /opt/CA/IMDataRepository_vertica9_3.7.10

Rerun the install
