Issue/Introduction

We are trying to reinstall the data repository to have a second active instance to use as a DR system. In trying to do the install we are getting an error.

Running dr_install.sh and we see errors in the install log and to the screen output.

The full error seen in the screen output and log is:

Prerequisites not fully met during local (OS) configuration for
verify-<IP_Address>.xml:
FAIL (S0310): https://www.vertica.com/docs/10.1.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0310
FAIL(eS0310): Transparent hugepages is set to 'always'. Must be 'never'
or 'madvise'.

In the new releases it will show:

    FAIL (S0310): https://www.vertica.com/docs/23.4.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0310
        FAIL(eS0310): Transparent hugepages is set to 'always'. Must be 'never'
        or 'madvise'.

Environment

All supported releases of DX NetOps Performance Management

Cause

The dr_validate.sh was not run before the dr_install.sh script.

Resolution

The dr_validate.sh script configures the servers in preparation of the dr_install.sh script run.

Run the dr_validate.sh script. If everything shows successful, run the dr_install.sh script again.
