BYNET V5 Network Topology for a Maximum 36-Node
System
![]()
- Consists of one or more 1800 processing/storage cabinets, a VMS with SWS VM or a Service Workstation (SWS), plus additional Platform Framework Cabinets.
- Scalable from 1 to 36 processing nodes (TPA nodes ) channel servers (non-TPA nodes), NCSs, and TMSs in any combination.
- Two 36-port BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches provide redundant BYNET networks (Network-0 and Network-1). Both switches reside in the base cabinet.
- Each processing node, channel server, or NCS contains a dual port BYNET V5 InfiniBand adapter that connects to both BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches. A TMS may contain a dual port BYNET V5 InfiniBand adapter that connects to the switches.
- Individual optical InfiniBand cables are used to connect nodes and servers in expansion cabinets to the BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches in the base cabinet.
- If the system is included in a UDA environment, some ports on the BYNET V5 InfiniBand switch are used for UDA connections. The number of ports needed depends on the UDA configuration. For more information, see the Teradata Unified Data Architecture InfiniBand and Server Management Configuration Guide, B035-6001.
