  • Database sizing depends on number of Jobs per day and job detail data retention.

  • Make sure that the Vertica database data directory on each Platform Analytics node is at the same location.

  • Make sure that you follow security setting that is required for Vertica database installation. Refer to the Vertica Installation Guide for more details.

  • Make sure that the Vertica binary that you have downloaded matches the OS and the system architecture on which you intend to install it.

  • Check if you can ping Vertica nodes from the Platform Analytics node, Tableau or Platform Analytics server.

  • Check that the Platform Analytics node can ping the Platform Analytics server and vice versa.

  • Make sure that the Platform Analytics server and Tableau server meets hardware configuration. If you are planning to install both on the same system, then check if your hardware supports and withstands both configuration.

  • Check if you have set enough memory and disk space for each node.
