System Requirements for SLES 11

Any hardware or software upgrades necessary to meet the requirements for upgrading from SLES 10 to SLES 11 should be isolated from and performed well in advance of upgrading the operating system. Doing so provides for monitoring the performance characteristics on the new platform so that you can fine tune priority-scheduling settings prior to operating system upgrade.

Hardware Requirements

• Teradata Data Mart 560P
• Teradata Data Mart Appliance 670
• Teradata Extreme Data Appliance 1650 and above
• Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2650 and above
• Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse 5600 and above
• Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse 6650 and above

Software Requirements

• Teradata Database version based on hardware version, as outlined in the following table

  Hardware Version	Minimum Teradata Database Version
  560P, 670, 1650, 2650, 4600, 5600, 5650, 6650, 6650-SSD, 6680, 6690	14.00.02.02
  2690, 2700	14.00.02.13
  1700, 6700	14.00.03.09
  2750	14.00.04.03
  6750	14.00.05.01

  If upgrading from SLES 10 systems licensed for Priority Scheduling Facility (PSF), the following unique requirements for database version secondary to workload migration scenario apply.

  • If you have in-depth understanding of Priority Definition (PD) set configuration and want to use the Workload Management Pre-Migration Tool (known as the Pre-Migration Tool) to refine the otherwise automatic results of the migrating workload priority-scheduling settings, you must use Teradata Workload Analyzer (TWA) to create rule sets from PD sets while still running Teradata Database version 13.0 or earlier and before upgrading the operating system.
  • If you intend to use the Pre-Migration Tool to migrate workloads based on user-defined SLES 10 performance groups, you must be running Teradata Database version 14.10 or later or 14.00.04.01 at the time of operating system upgrade to ensure that workloads based on default performance groups are assigned the expected timeshare access level in SLES 11.
• Teradata Viewpoint version 14.00.00.05 or later
• 3 GB or more free space on the Teradata file system
