Troubleshooting the Vertica Install
Vertica 9.3.x and 10.0.x do not support FIPS because of a limitation with OpenSSL. If you need FIPS support, install or upgrade to 10.1.1 or above.
If you install or upgrade from Vertica 9.2.x to Vertica 9.3. on a FIPS-enabled machine, you may encounter the following error: "Upgrading to Vertica 9.3.x-xxxxxxxx on a FIPS system is not supported." To resolve this, you must downgrade to Vertica 9.2.x: uninstall the Vertica RPM on every node in the cluster and then reinstallVertica 9.2.x.
The topics described in this section are performed automatically by the install_vertica script and are described in Installing Vertica. If you did not encounter any installation problems, proceed to the Administrator's Guide for instructions on how to configure and operate a database.
