OpenText Analytics Database server and Management Console

OpenText™ Analytics Database supports the following 64-bit operating systems and versions on x86_x64 architecture.

Operating systems and versions

OpenText™ Analytics Database 25.2.x supports the following 64-bit operating systems and versions on x86_x64 and AArch64 architecture.

In general, OpenText provides support for the OpenText™ Analytics Database, not its host operating system, hardware, or other environmental elements. However, OpenText makes an effort to ensure the success of its customers on recent versions of the following popular operating systems for the x86_64 and AArch64 architecture.

When multiple minor versions are supported for a major operating system release, it is recommended that you run the database on the latest minor version listed in the supported versions list. For example, if you run the database on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x release, it is recommended that you upgrade to or run the latest supported RHEL 8.x release.

Choose the storage format type based on deployment requirements. Vertica recommends the following storage format types where applicable:

  • ext3

  • ext4

  • NFS for backup

  • XFS

  • Amazon S3 Standard, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage for communal storage and related backup tasks when running in Eon Mode

The storage format type at your backup and temporary directory locations must support fcntl lockf (POSIX) file locking.

You can view the file systems in use on your nodes by querying the system table STORAGE_USAGE.

While OpenText™ Analytics Database users have successfully deployed other file systems, we cannot guarantee the desired outcomes on all storage format types. In certain support situations, you may be asked to migrate to a recommended storage format type to help with troubleshooting or to fix an issue.

The database supports Linux Volume Manager (LVM) on all supported operating systems. Your LVM version must be 2.02.66 or later, and must include device-mapper version 1.02.48 or later. For more information about requirements and restrictions, see Support for LVM

Network address family support

The database server supports IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses for both internal and external communications. The database cluster uses IPv4 by for internal communications by default. You can choose to have the cluster use IPv6 for its internal communications when you install the database and create the cluster.

Vertica supports using IPv6 to identify nodes in the database cluster. However, AWS DNS resolution does not support IPv6. To have a cluster in AWS that uses IPv6, use the IPv6 IP addresses instead of using host names when installing Vertica and forming the cluster.

Currently, you cannot use IPv6 on Google Cloud Platform or Microsoft Azure.

The MC currently does not support IPv6. If your database uses IPv6 for internal communications, the MC will not be able to connect to or manage the database. The MC must communicate with the database cluster using its own internal network addresses.
