5 HP Vertica Server and HP Vertica Management Console HP Vertica Server and HP Vertica Management Console Supported Operating Systems Vertica Analytic Database 7.1.x runs on the following 64-bit operating systems on x86_x64 architecture: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x* and 6.x Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is supported only on the AMI supplied by Hewlett-Packard for users who want to run HP Vertica on Amazon Web Services (AWS). SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.0 through 11.0 SP3 Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 - Red Hat Compatible Kernel only - HP Vertica does not support the unbreakable kernel (kernels with a uel suffix) Debian Linux 6* and 7.0 through 7.5 Cent OS 5.x* and 6.x Ubuntu LTS and LTS * HP is phasing out support for on these platforms. See End of Support Plan for more information. Supported File Systems Vertica Analytic Database Enterprise Edition has been extensively tested on all supported Linux platforms running ext3 or ext4 file systems. While other file systems have been successfully deployed by some customers, Vertica Analytic Database cannot guarantee performance or stability of the product on these file systems. In certain support situations, you may be asked to migrate off of these untested file systems to help you troubleshoot or fix an issue. In particular, several file corruption issues have been linked to the use of XFS with HP Vertica; we strongly recommend not using it in production. Note: Vertica Analytic Database 7.1.x does not support Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM.) Supported Browsers for HP Vertica Management Console Vertica Analytic Database7.1.x Management Console is supported on the following Web browsers: HP Vertica Analytic Database (7.1.x) Page 5 of 21

For example, the Vertica Analytic Database 7.1 server is supported with Vertica Analytic Database 7.1 Management Console only. HP Vertica Analytic Database (7.1.x) Page 6 of 21

7 HP Vertica 7.1.x Client drivers HP Vertica 7.1.x Client drivers HP Vertica provides JDBC, ODBC, and ADO.NET client drivers. You can choose to download: Client packages: All client packages contain the ODBC driver, the JDBC driver, and the HP Vertica vsql client software for the specified operating system. 64-bit packages contain both 32- and 64-bit installers. The ADO.NET driver is not available in a client package, but rather is part of the HP Vertica Microsoft Connectivity Pack. If the installer detects the presence of Microsoft SQL server, ADO.net will be installed with additional software for MS connectivity. If the installer does not detect the presence of SQL server, only the ADO.NET driver will be installed. Individual drivers: You can download Vertica ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET drivers individually. See HP VerticaDriver/Server compatibility to see which server versions are compatible with Vertica 6.1.x drivers. ADO.NET Driver The ADO.NET driver is supported on the following platforms: Platform Processor Supported Versions.NET Requirements Microsoft Windows x86 (32-bit) Windows 7 Windows 8 Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or later Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) Windows 7 Windows 8 Microsoft Windows Server Microsoft Windows Server x86 (32-bit) x64 (64-bit) 2008 R R JDBC Driver All JDBC drivers are supported on any Java 5-compliant platform.

17 HP Vertica on Amazon Web Services HP Vertica on Amazon Web Services HP provides a preconfigured AMI for users who want to run a Vertica Analytic Database on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This HP-supplied AMI is the officially-supported version of the Vertica Analytic Database for AWS. It allows users to configure their own storage and has been configured for and tested on AWS. Note: HP develops AMIs for HP Vertica on a different schedule than the core software product release. Therefore, AMIs will be available after the HP Vertica software release, but not at the same time. HP Vertica Analytic Database (7.1.x) Page 17 of 21

19 HP Vertica in a Virtualized Environment Memory Pre-allocate and reserve memory for the VM 4G per virtual core of the virtual machines HP has tested the configuration above. While other virtualization configurations may have been successfully deployed by customers in development environments, performance of these configurations may vary. If you choose to run HP Vertica on a different virtualization configuration and experience an issue, the HP VerticaSupport team may ask you to reproduce the issue using the configuration described above, or in a bare-metal environment, to aid in troubleshooting. Depending on the details of the case, the Support team may also ask you to enter a support ticket with your virtualization vendor. HP Vertica Analytic Database (7.1.x) Page 19 of 21
