The Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse 6700 platform is made up of a combination of cabinet types, depending on the system configuration:

Cabinet Type Description
Processing/Storage Cabinet
A 6700H, 6700C, or 6700X processing/storage cabinet contains one clique.
  • A 6700H cabinet can contain one of the following configurations:
    • A 3+1 clique with three database processing nodes, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays.
    • A 2+1 clique with two database processing nodes, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays.
    • A 1+1 clique with one database processing node, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays (standalone) or three disk arrays (coexistence).
  • A 6700X cabinet can contain one of the following configurations:
    • A 2+1 clique with two database processing nodes, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays (coexistence).
    • A 1+1 clique with one database processing node, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays (coexistence).
  • A 6700C cabinet can contain one of the following configurations:
    • A 2+1 clique with two database processing nodes, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays (standalone or coexistence).
    • A 1+1 clique with one database processing node, one hot standby node, and five disk arrays (standalone or coexistence).
Other chassis in the processing/storage cabinet provide power and server management functionality. For systems scalable to a maximum of 18 TPA nodes, the processing/storage cabinet contains two 36-port BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches (BYNET V5 interconnect).
For more information about clique configurations, see Platform Features Summary or Disk Storage Interconnect.
BYNET V5 Cabinet

(BYNET V5 Interconnect)
Each BYNET V5 cabinet contains one or two InfiniBand switches, depending on the configuration. AC boxes in the cabinet provide power. Ethernet switches provide server management functionality.
  • A 108-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 108 nodes. The cabinet contains two 108-port switches for redundancy. The cabinet can also contain an optional System VMS and KVM and up to two TMS servers.
  • A 162-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 162 nodes. 162-port switch cabinets are paired for redundancy. Each cabinet can also contain an optional System VMS and KVM and up to three TMS servers.
  • A 324-port switch cabinet supports scalability from one to a maximum of 324 nodes. 324-port switch cabinets are paired for redundancy.
System configurations larger than 324 nodes (to a maximum of 1,024 nodes) are accommodated by special order.
Platform Framework Cabinet

(PFC)

The PFC can contain any combination of channel servers, ECS servers, TMS servers, and other switches, plus BAR storage. The PFC can also be used to support system configurations that require a dedicated Service Workstation server. Other chassis in the cabinet provide power and server management functionality.
