Greenplum database binary package


I know this is awkward but I can't find the binary package to install Greenplum database on my Centos machine in order to create a cluster of 4 nodes to test this database, this tutorial

considers I have the greenplum-db-5.4.0-rhel7-x86_64.bin package which I don't have, following the README from the greenplum-db Github repo gpdb repo

fails also due to some error also:

,"could not create semaphores: No space left on device (pg_sema.c:127)","Failed system call was semget(118, 17, 03600).","This error does not mean that you have run out of disk space.

I can't seem to setup a successful greenplum cluster any help is appreciated


Solution

  • You can use any RHEL package from: https://network.pivotal.io/products/pivotal-gpdb#/releases

    Current version is 5.9.0. but 5.4.0 is available as a bin or rpm.

    You can also build and use the community edition on GIT.

    The semaphores error is due to the OS limits, which need to be modified before installation.
