Issue/Introduction

I am doing a fresh installed on a new DR host then performed a dr_validate step but it was failed because the validation found the existing Vertica package and required the database to be up in order to verify the db connection.

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : IM Reporting / Admin / Configuration

Cause

Vertica was uninstalled, but elements of the installation still remain

Resolution

remove /home/dradmin folder

also remove any other folders related to Vertica, such as data and catalog folders

You may also need to run yum remove vertica-10.1.1-20.x86_64 and then re-run the dr_validate script.
