Configurations can be classified as Single-System configurations or Multi-System configurations. In this context, system refers to one of the following definitions.

  • Each system is assigned a unique system name.
  • A Teradata system includes the set of Teradata Database nodes and disk arrays associated with a single instance of the Teradata Database.
  • In a single-system configuration, server management monitors and manages a single Hadoop cluster. The minimum configuration of a Hadoop cluster consists of three Master Nodes for Hadoop and three Data Nodes for Hadoop. The cluster has a unique system name. All the nodes in the cluster must share a common Server Management Domain and a common Site ID configured in server management.
  • Each 2800 or 2850 2+0 clique (which consists of 2 database nodes and 2 disk arrays) is always a separate system.
  • Each 2800 or 2850 4+0 clique (which consists of 4 database nodes and 4 disk arrays) is always a separate system.

Shared system components (collectives and cabinets, VMSs, BYNET InfiniBand switches, server management switches, and TMSs) are not assigned system names.

Nodes in all multi-system configurations share the InfiniBand switches.

In a multi-system configuration all systems must be running the same version of SMWeb Services.

Contact Teradata Customer Support to verify which Teradata, Aster, Hadoop, and SAS HPA systems are valid in multi-system configurations, such as a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) environment.
