Ensure that you are in the /var/tmp/momentum-4.2.1.50062 directory, then install the appropriate packages on each node type, as directed in the following steps.

NOTE: If you are installing a three node combined (or similar) topology , each node serves all roles: each node is an MTA node and a Cassandra node and an Analytics node.

• First MTA Node - Identify which server will be the first MTA node you are installing. Install these packages only on that node.

  yum install -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum msys-ecelerity-config-server msys-role-db

• MTA Nodes - For every node you designate as an MTA (including the first node), perform the following:

  yum install -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum \
    msys-role-mta msys-ecelerity-engagement-proxy msys-app-webhooks-cql \
    msys-app-webhooks-etl msys-app-metrics-etl msys-app-adaptive-delivery-etl
  

• Cassandra Nodes - For every Cassandra node that is part of a Cassandra cluster, run the following commands. If you are combining MTA and Cassandra roles, then install packages on all MTA nodes.

  yum install -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum msys-role-cassandra

• Analytics Nodes - For every node that you have designated as one that will be an Analytics node, perform the following:

  1. Set the IS_VERTICA_AWS environment variable to distinguish between AWS and non-AWS environments. This environment variable indicates whether or not the current node is in AWS and running the HP Vertica AMI.

     If you ARE installing Vertica in AWS then set export IS_VERTICA_AWS=1

     If you are NOT installing Vertica in AWS then set export IS_VERTICA_AWS=0

  2. Install the appropriate packages, depending on whether or not you are installing Vertica in AWS:

     if [ "$IS_VERTICA_AWS" == "1" ]; then
         yum install -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum --exclude=msys-vertica \
           msys-role-application msys-app-adaptive-delivery-db \
           msys-app-adaptive-delivery-api msys-app-webhooks-api msys-app-webhooks-db
     else
         yum install -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum \
           msys-role-analytics msys-app-adaptive-delivery-db \
           msys-app-adaptive-delivery-api msys-app-webhooks-api msys-app-webhooks-db
     fi
     

     If you have a two-tier configuration (or similar) topology , run this additional command. Do not run this command if you have a three node combined (or similar) topology .

     # Remove an ETL that is N/A for Analytics nodes in two-tier configurations:
     yum remove -y --config momentum.repo --enablerepo momentum msys-app-adaptive-delivery-etl
     

  3. Create a file called silent_install by running the below script on the first Analytics or Combined node, but only if you are not installing in an AWS environment.

     Note#

     This step ONLY needs to be done if you are NOT installing in AWS.

     ONlY DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT INSTALLING IN AWS#

     Skip this step if you are installing in AWS#

     cd cat /var/tmp/inst.dir export VERT_CONF='/opt/vertica/config' export RPMFILE=/bin/ls $PWD/packages/msys-vertica* | fgrep -v client cat << EOF > ../silent_install accept_eula = True data_dir = /var/db/vertica direct_only = True failure_threshold = FAIL license_file = $VERT_CONF/licensing/Message_Systems_vertica.license.key rpm_file_name = $RPMFILE spread_subnet = default vertica_dba_group = verticadba vertica_dba_user = vertica_dba vertica_dba_user_dir = /var/db/vertica vertica_dba_user_password_disabled = True EOF

  4. Configure an environment variable on the first Analytics or Combined node prior to running the Vertica installer there.

     Use the IP addresses for each Vertica (Analytics) node in your deployment.

     Warning#

     Once you assign IP addresses to a Vertica host you can’t change them.

     export SERVERS=1.2.3.4,1.2.3.5,1.2.3.6

  5. Run the Vertica installer once, on the first node. If the topology has mutiple Analytics or Combined nodes, enter the password for them if prompted to do so.

     NOTE: During the install, you can ignore any messages of HINT level listed under "Prerequisites not fully met ...". Just confirm receipt of a message containing text "System prerequisites passed."

     if [ "$IS_VERTICA_AWS" == "1" ]; then
         export VERT_CONF='/opt/vertica/config'
         export VERT_BIN='/opt/vertica/bin'
         export VERT_SBIN='/opt/vertica/sbin'
     
         $VERT_SBIN/install_vertica -s $SERVERS --point-to-point --dba-user-password-disabled \
            --dba-user vertica_dba --dba-user-home /var/db/vertica --dba-group verticadba --data-dir /var/db/vertica/data \
            --failure-threshold FAIL --accept-eula --license $VERT_CONF/licensing/vertica_community_edition.license.key
     else
         export VERT_BIN='/opt/vertica/bin'
         export VERT_SBIN='/opt/vertica/sbin'
         $VERT_SBIN/install_vertica -z ../silent_install -s $SERVERS \
           2>&1 | tee vertica_install.log
     fi
     

     Warning#

     The user vertica_dba should now be available. If it is not, please contact support.

  6. If you are using the Vertica Management Console, then skip this step. Otherwise, turn off the vertica-agent by performing these steps on all Analytics or Combined nodes:

     # remove unused or conflicting services from all vertica nodes
     /sbin/chkconfig vertica_agent off
     /etc/init.d/vertica_agent stop
     rm -f /etc/init.d/vertica_agent
     if [ "$IS_VERTICA_AWS" == "0" ]; then
         /sbin/chkconfig verticad off
         rm -f /etc/init.d/verticad
     fi
