Region | The AWS region where you deploy your stack. | ||
AWS Service Limits | Increase service limits,
particularly for EBS, EC2 instances, and VPC elastic IP addresses,
as well as increase instance limits to support NFR. See AWS Service Limits. |
||
Teradata Deployment Planning | |||
Teradata Software | See Supported Teradata Software on AWS. | ||
Software Packaging Options | Choose the software bundle or individual software components. See Teradata Software Purchase Options. | ||
Software Purchasing Methods | Purchase from AWS on an hourly basis or contact Teradata for an annual license. See Teradata Software Purchase Options. | ||
Software Deployment Methods | Learn about deploying Vantage simultaneously with other Teradata software
products (recommended method). See Deploying Teradata VantageCloud and Ecosystem Using AWS CloudFormation. Learn about deploying Teradata products one at a time. See Methods for Deploying Teradata Components Separately. |
||
Subscribing | Whether you use an annual or an hourly subscription, you must subscribe to the software on AWS before deploying it. See Subscribing to Teradata Software. | ||
Vantage License Tier | Developer, Base, Advanced, or Enterprise. | ||
Teradata Support Account [Base, Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
Register for support at https://www.teradata.com/platform/deployment/aws/support-registration. Existing Teradata customers with a site ID must obtain a new site ID, as you cannot use your existing site ID for Vantage on AWS (DIY). After completing registration, you will receive email containing your Master Customer Record and site ID. Once you receive it, login to support.teradata.com and register with your preferred email and Customer Master Record provided. This will provide access to Teradata Support portal. |
||
Vantage Ecosystem | Test and Development, Minimum Production, or Full Production. See Deploying Teradata VantageCloud and Ecosystem Using AWS CloudFormation. |
||
Public vs. private IP/DNS addresses | See Connection Configurations. | ||
Node Failure Recovery | Before deploying an instance, make sure there is at least one free IP address in the subnet in case a node failure occurs. Assign EC2-VPC elastic IP addresses to the public IP addresses of each instance to reconnect without having to update the Teradata COP entry IP addresses if a node fails. | ||
Stack Name | Must be unique to the deployment region. | ||
VantageCloud | Version | 2.4.4.0 | |
System Name | The name of the database. Useful when you have multiple systems that show in Viewpoint. | ||
System Nickname | Used to monitor Vantage instances in Teradata Viewpoint. | ||
DBC Password | New Vantage password. | ||
Number of Nodes | Maximum supported number depends on the license tier. | ||
Number of Hot Standby Nodes (HSN) | Maximum supported number depends on the license tier. Do not exceed the number of Vantage nodes. See Hot Standby Nodes. | ||
Instance and Storage Type | Storage size is per node. For an MPP system, Teradata requires supported R5 and R6i instance types with EBS storage for Base, Advanced, and Enterprise tiers. | ||
Scale
Out/In [Base, Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
|
||
Data Storage | Supported only on R5 and R6i instance types (EBS storage). 5 to 72 TB per node. | ||
EBS
Encryption [Base, Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
Supported only on R5 and R6i instance types (EBS storage). See Encryption. |
||
Root Disk
Encryption [Base, Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
Supported only on R5 and R6i instance types (EBS storage). See Encryption. |
||
Japanese Support | Enable to optimize the hashing algorithm to spread data across all AMPs when using Kanji characters for primary indexes. | ||
Elastic IPs | Enable to allocate an elastic IP address to
each node. Vantage on AWS (DIY) uses EC2-VPC elastic IP addresses. Although you can use EC2-VPC elastic IP addresses for all Teradata ecosystems, we strongly recommend you use them for Minimum Production and Full Production Teradata ecosystems. |
||
Enable Temporal | Select yes to enable, no to disable. | ||
Enable Secure Zones | Select yes to enable, no to disable. | ||
Enable Row-Level Security | Select yes to enable, no to disable. | ||
Enable Teradata Intelligent Memory [Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
To enable, specify the hot cylinder cache as a
percentage from 1 to 80 of the FSG cache. To disable, change the
setting to 0. See the ctl utility in Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities, B035-1102 and Teradata® Intelligent Memory Orange Book, 541-0009920. To find an Orange Book, go to https://support.teradata.com, log in, and search for the book title. |
||
Sub-pool Per Clique | Enter number of Sub-pools per clique as per the selected Instance Type. See,Variable AMPs Feature in VantageCloud Instance Types for more details. | ||
AMPs Per Sub-pool | Enter number of AMPs per Sub-pool as per the selected Instance Type. See,Variable AMPs Feature in VantageCloud Instance Types for more details. | ||
Date and Time | NTP Servers | [Optional] Leave blank to use the default Amazon Time Sync Service local IP address. If you must use different NTP servers, enter the IP addresses separated by commas. | |
System Timezone | [Optional] Default: time zone of the AWS
region. Can be changed to the operating system time zone of the
Vantage system. See Time Zone Considerations and AWS Regions. Data Mover, DSC, Viewpoint, and Query Service default to the same time zone set for the Vantage system. |
||
VPC/Network | VPC | Create an AWS virtual private cloud. The options available are: default and non-default VPC. Use subnets if you want to deploy Vantage MPP instances. For subnets, you must enable auto-assignment of public IP addresses. When you secure your VPC, make sure the Vantage instances can still access the AWS service endpoints they require. See AWS Service Endpoints. |
|
Vantage Subnet | Select a subnet to use for the Vantage system. Ensure the subnet you select has a sufficient number of IPs available. The Vantage MPP instances require two IPs per node and all AWS subnets have 5 IPs reserved for internal use. If you plan on enabling scale-out with your system, be sure to allocate enough IPs per MPP instance for a fully scaled-out system. See VPC and Subnet Sizing in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide. Check that the subnet you choose has enough available IPs. From the AWS Web Console, under Networking, select VPC. Under Resources, select Subnets. Check the Available IPs column for that specific subnet. |
||
Ecosystem Subnet | Create one or more subnets, which require a
sufficient number of available IPs:
|
||
Database Placement Group | Create an AWS placement group. | ||
DSC Placement Group | [Optional] Either use the same placement group as the Vantage system or create a new one. | ||
Data Mover Placement Group | [Optional] Either use the same placement group as the Vantage system or create a new one. | ||
Security Group | Remote Access From | Create one or more AWS security groups and
configure appropriate ports. To configure ports, see Security Groups for Teradata Vantage and Security Groups for Other Teradata Applications. In this field, enter the CIDR block to lock down SSH and enable access to nodes. |
|
Proxy Server Configuration | Proxy Server Configuration | [Optional]Authenticated Proxy Server configurations to instances in specified VPC for internet connectivity. Also, make sure Proxy Server is deployed and configured properly in the same VPC. Ex.: http://<username>:<password>@<proxy_server_private_ip>:<proxy_server_port> Note: Vantage DIY CFT’s doesn’t include deployment & configuration of proxy server. For more details, see Proxy Server section. |
|
Capacity Reservation | Capacity Reservation | [Optional] On-Demand Capacity Reservations enable you to reserve compute capacity for your Amazon EC2 instances in a specific Availability Zone for any duration. | |
Key Pair | AWS Key Pair | Use to SSH into instances. If a key pair was created in a region, it cannot be used in another region. To use a key pair in all regions, create it using a third-party tool and import the public key to Amazon EC2. | |
Teradata Server Management | Number of PSIMs | PSIM instances. Minimum of three for high availability. | |
Admin Password | |||
Site
ID [Base, Advanced, Enterprise only*] |
String that identifies this Teradata deployment for Teradata Services (AMZTDB followed by up to 9 numbers). Obtained by registering for support. If you do not have a site ID, you can continue without it, and add it later. | ||
