Issue/Introduction

We are increasing a 3 node cluster to a 5 node cluster based on the sizing tool.

Will this change the K-safety from 1 node down, to 2 nodes down or more?

 

Environment

 DX NetOps :: All Supported Versions

Cause

Vertica does not recommend this setting as it will have a major impact on performance.

 

a K-safety of 2 uses 50% more system resources. This usage could slow system performance. 

 

Resolution

 DX NetOps does NOT support a K-safety value greater than 1.
