A Data Center is a location or region where Teradata Fabric connected systems reside. By associating Teradata Fabric Managers and Teradata Fabric connected systems with data centers, Teradata Fabric can make sure heartbeats, configuration updates, query metrics, and logs transferred between the nodes and Teradata Fabric Manager remain local to the data center or region.
When you install Teradata Fabric Manager software on a physical machine, a default Data Center is created using the hostname of the TMS, VM, or server. The default Data Center name is displayed in the Teradata® Fabric portlet.
The default Data Center cannot be deleted. It can be renamed or you can do one of the following:
- Create a new Data Center in the Teradata Fabric portlet
- Create a new Data Center during clustering if you have two or more Teradata Fabric Manager instances.
