Before we arrive to install your Vantage system, work closely with your Teradata team to plan for a smooth installation. Your account team will work through an onboarding checklist. Considerations include:
- Your system may arrive from the factory running older versions of the operating system, database, or other software. Leave adequate time to ensure your system is running the required versions.
- What are your plans for migrating data?
- Will external Viewpoint or QueryGrid servers be clustered?
- Will this Vantage system be on the fabric with other Teradata systems?
- Are there any security restrictions that Teradata needs to be aware of?
- Confirm there is a CLAN drop for all Analytics Nodes.
- Every Vantage node (Database Engine 20 or Analytics Database, Analytics, VMS) should be defined in your LAN DNS with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
- You will need security certificates.
