Access the Cluster After Deployment

After the deployment successfully completes, you receive a notification in the Azure portal. When you click the notification, the Azure portal opens the resource group and displays information about all the resources created.

Take the following steps to finalize the cluster installation:

  1. Select the public IP address name of any Vertica cluster node to view the values for that node. Copy either the IP address or the DNS name for that node, and switch to an SSH client.
  2. Connect to the node using the DBADMIN user you created along with the authentication method you chose (public key or password).
  3. Once logged on to the VM as the DBADMIN user, to start the Vertica admintools application, enter the following command:

    [dbadmin@vertnode1 ~]$ admintools
  4. When asked, do one of the following:

    • Provide a path to a Vertica License File, or
    • Press Enter to accept the Vertica Community Edition.
  5. And finally, accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).

At this point, your cluster is fully installed and you are ready to create a new database.
