Issue/Introduction
Unable to start the Vertica database
Environment
All supported releases
Resolution
To get a valid epoch to perform the following steps:
Run the following command: /opt/vertica/bin/admintools -t start_db -d <DB name> -F
The above command will likely fail but the act of attempting a "force" repair of the Vertica database will put an Epoch.log in the catalog directory. This would be the same directory that contains the vertica.log
