Install Vertica with the installation script
You can run the installation script after you install the Vertica package. The installation script runs on a single node, using a Bash shell. The script copies the Vertica package to all other hosts (identified by the --hosts argument) in your planned cluster.
Tip
To speed up the installation, you can provide a local copy of the RPM to each node in the cluster before running the install script. This allows the installer to bypass the time-consuming process of copying the RPM to the nodes. For details, see--no-rpm-copy.
The installation script runs several tests on each of the target hosts to verify that the hosts meet system and performance requirements for a Vertica node. The installation script modifies some operating system configuration settings to meet these requirements. Other settings cannot be modified by the installation script and must be manually reconfigured. For details on operating system configuration settings, see Manually configured operating system settings and Automatically configured operating system settings.
