Redistributing configuration files to nodes

The add and remove node processes automatically redistribute the Vertica configuration files.

The add and remove node processes automatically redistribute the Vertica configuration files. You rarely need to redistribute the configuration files to help resolve configuration issues.

To distribute configuration files to a host:

Log on to a host that contains these files and start Administration Tools.
On the Administration Tools Main Menu, select Configuration Menu and click OK.
On the Configuration Menu, select Distribute Config Files and click OK.
Select Database Configuration.
Select the database where you want to distribute the files and click OK.

Vertica configuration files are distributed to all other database hosts. If the files already existed on a host, they are overwritten.
On the Configuration Menu, select Distribute Config Files and click OK.
Select SSL Keys.

Certifications and keys are distributed to all other database hosts. If they already existed on a host, they are overwritten.
On the Configuration Menu, select Distribute Config Files and click OK.

Select AdminTools Meta-Data.

Administration Tools metadata is distributed to every host in the cluster.
Restart the database.

Note

To distribute the configuration file admintools.conf via the command line or scripts, use the admintools option distribute_config_files:

$ admintools -t distribute_config_files
