Issue/Introduction

We are running the dr_validate.sh script to install or upgrade the DX NetOps Performance Management Data Repository Vertica database.

It returns an error about the host name.

Log File: logs/install_log_validate_11-11-2021_10-04-11.log

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Cause

The DbHostNames variable in the (default path) /opt/CA/IM_DataRepository<version>/drinstall.properties file is not set with the correct host name(s).

Resolution

Edit the DbHostNames variable in the (default path) /opt/CA/IM_DataRepository<version>/drinstall.properties file. Add the correct host names for the cluster node(s) being installed or upgraded.

After fixing the drinstall.properties file value run the dr_validate.sh again.
