Caution

In Eon Mode, Vertica relies on the storage platform you use for communal storage to manage data safety and integrity. For production use, always use MinIO in a distributed mode cluster. This mode provides high availability and data integrity protection. See the Distributed MinIO Quickstart Guide for instructions for configuring MinIO in distributed mode.

Vertica does not support the use of Vertica Management Console or admintools to administer data located on MinIO.

See the MinIO website for more information about MinIO.

Using Vertica Management Console or admintools to administer data located on HDFS.
