HP Vertica installation error FAIL (S0300) fix

This is a short fix for the error FAIL(S0030) that comes up during the HP Vertica Installation.

FAIL (S0030): ntpd process is not running: ['ntpd', 'ntp']

Let's go an see how we can fix this This error is shown as the ntpd daemon is not running and Vertica requires that NTP be enabled and active. The network time protocol (NTP) daemon needs to be running on all of the hosts in the cluster to ensure their clocks are synchronized. The spread daemon relies on all of the nodes to have their clocks synchronized for timing purposes.

• Now let's go and alter our Linux Operational System and enable the NTP.

[root@primary tmp]# /etc/init.d/ntpd status
ntpd is stopped
[root@primary tmp]# /etc/init.d/ntpd start
Starting ntpd:                                             [  OK  ]
[root@primary tmp]# /etc/init.d/ntpd status
ntpd (pid  4772) is running...

So the ntpd is up and running Now let's make sure that the NTP will start at boot time so in the future we won't worry about it.

[root@primary tmp]# /sbin/chkconfig ntpd on
