The following table outlines the features and components of the 1700 platform.
Feature | Feature Description |
---|---|
Processing Node | Processing and hot standby nodes
consist of an Intel R2208 chassis with:
|
Disk Storage | Disk arrays: Each disk array in a 1700 cabinet contains five Gelding (2Ux12)
drive enclosures:
Storage drives:
|
Channel Server | Intel R2208 server, configured as
dedicated server for interface between Teradata Database and IBM (or
compatible) mainframe:
For information about HCA configuration, see the Host Channel Adapter Installation and Service Guide, B035-5044. |
Extended Channel Solution (ECS) | Dell R720 or Dell R730 server, configured as dedicated server for remote interface between Teradata Database and IBM (or compatible) mainframe:
|
Network Connectivity Server (NCS) | Intel R1208 server, configured as
dedicated server for providing additional customer network
connectivity options:
|
Teradata Managed
Server (TMS) Teradata Multipurpose Server (TMS) |
TMSs consist of Dell R720, Dell
R720xd, Dell R730, or Dell R730xd servers used for solution
offerings that are peripheral to Teradata processing. All TMSs have onboard connectivity to the server management network. If sufficient BYNET V5 switch ports are available, the server can also be connected to the BYNET V5 switches. For information about TMS configurations, see the Teradata Platform Framework Cabinet Model 12 Product and Site Preparation Guide, B035-5388. |
SAS HPA Worker Node | Dell Server configured for SAS High-Performance Analytics in-memory software. For more information, see the Teradata Appliance for SAS High-Performance Analytics Model 720 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide, B035-5410, or the Teradata Appliance for SAS High-Performance Analytics Model 750 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide, B035-6042. |
Dump Server | Dell R720xd server, configured as
dedicated hardware to be used for crash dump data analysis. Data can be offloaded from the production data warehouse environment to a dump server, allowing for analysis without disruption to the production system. The dump server must run the same version of Teradata Database as the production system from which the dump data was offloaded. Each dump server consists of:
One portable USB DVD ROM drive is
included per system to be used by a Dell R720xd dump server. The
product ID number for the USB DVD ROM drive kit is
2021-K944-V001. The kit includes instructions for using the
drive.
|
BYNET-over-Ethernet Interconnect |
Redundant 24-port BYNET-over-Ethernet switches in processing/storage cabinets used for processing node (TPA), channel server, and network connectivity server (NCS) communication. Switches support a maximum of 22 TPA nodes, hot standby nodes, channel servers, and NCSs in any combination. |
BYNET V5 Interconnect | Redundant BYNET V5 switches using
BYNET V5 InfiniBand for processing node (TPA), channel server, and
NCS communication in processing/storage cabinets or BYNET V5
cabinets.
|
Adapters |
SAS disk
storage adapter:
InfiniBand adapter (for connection
to the BYNET V5 network or the BYNET V5 switch):
Communications adapters:
Host channel adapter:
TMS BAR adapter:
|
Cable Modes | Teradata systems are shipped with multi-mode fiber (MMF) connections for the 10Gb Ethernet optical interface into all servers. Single-mode fiber (SMF) connections are not supported. |
Virtualized Management Server (VMS) | A virtualized management server
(VMS) can reside in a 1700 processing/storage cabinet, a 108-port
BYNET V5 cabinet, a 162-port BYNET V5 cabinet, or a Platform
Framework Cabinet. A VMS is an Intel R1208
chassis and can host the following virtual machines (VMs):
An Intel R1208 VMS is available in System VMS and Cabinet VMS configurations. Each
System VMS consists of:
Each Small System VMS consists
of:
Each Cabinet VMS consists of:
|
Server Management Web (SMWeb) Services | Server management functions run on the CMIC VM (on a VMS). The CMIC hosts the SMWeb Services Home page and provides applications and services for server management on an MPP system:
For use by customer on-site staff members, Teradata Services Analysts in the Global Support Center (GSC), and Teradata Customer Service Representatives. SMWeb 10.04 and Teradata ServiceConnect are required for 1700 systems.
For information about using SMWeb Services, see the Teradata Server Management Web Services User Guide, B035-5350, or the online help on the SMWeb Services home page. |
Enterprise Service Workstation (SWS) | Rack-mounted Dell R720
workstation dedicated to system servicing and maintenance. The SWS
hardware can reside in a 1700 cabinet or a Platform Framework
Cabinet.
The level of service depends on the
service agreement between Teradata and the
customer.
|
Enterprise Viewpoint Server | Dell R720 server that hosts the
Viewpoint portal that contains portlets for customer management of
the Teradata Database. Systems that have more than 128 nodes require
dedicated Enterprise Viewpoint hardware (rather than a VMS with a
Viewpoint virtual machine). The Enterprise Viewpoint hardware can
reside in a 1700 cabinet or a Platform Framework Cabinet.
|
Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Console | The KVM can reside in a 1700 base processing/storage cabinet, a 162-port BYNET V5 cabinet, or a Platform Framework Cabinet. The KVM must be located in the same cabinet as and be connected to the System VMS or rack-mounted SWS workstation. |
Cable Management |
Processing/storage cabinets have cable harnesses for server management. BYNET V5 cabinets do not have cable harnesses. Platform Framework Cabinets have cable harnesses for power and server management. Openings in cabinet sides near the rear of the rack accommodate inter-rack cabling. |
AC Power Subsystem |
1700
processing/storage cabinets:
BYNET V5 cabinet:
The PFC cabinet has two AC boxes of the same type per cabinet. For information about the PFC cabinet power subsystem, see the Teradata Platform Framework Cabinet Model 12 Product and Site Preparation Guide, B035-5388. |
Operating System |
|
Teradata Database |
Contact your Teradata
representative to confirm the exact version of the Teradata
Database and PDE packages required for this
platform.
|
Full Disk Encryption | The 1700 platform supports full disk encryption for processing node disks in all system cabinets. Full disk encryption is also supported for Dell R720 servers. |
