  1. Before you initially install RSG, use the PUT utility to add the RSG vprocs to the appropriate nodes.
    The id of the RSG vproc on the RSG master node should be as follows:
    RSG Version id on the Master Node
    13.10 or earlier 9215
    14.0 or later 26623
    The id of the RSG vproc on secondary RSG nodes should be as follows:
    RSG Version id on the Secondary Node
    13.10 or earlier 9214 or a lesser number (9213, 9212, and so on)
    14.0 or later 26622 or a lesser number (26621, 26620, and so on)
    The vconfig.txt file created by PUT also contains RSG vproc information, including whether the vproc is movable or not. It should always say the vproc is not movable. The RSG vproc type is defined in the DBS startup.txt file and is 4. The RSG partition is 19.
  2. It is strongly suggested that you shut down TPA before you install RSG:

    tpareset –x stop

    If you do not shut down TPA at this time, it must remain up throughout the RSG installation.

    If a TPA shutdown occurs during the RSG installation, and if the ctl utility shows that the “Running RSG” version is a version that is no longer on the system, you must use ctl to set the Desired RSG to the last installed RSG version or to remove it altogether. The next time TPA is started or reset, the system will automatically switch to the Desired RSG version or, if a version is not specified, the version of RSG that was most recently installed.

  3. Run rsginstall on each node or use the Additional Packages menu in the PUT utility to update all nodes simultaneously.

    The RSG package is installed in the following directory on each node:

    Teradata_installation_directory/rsg/version

    where version is the package version (for example, 06.01.00.00).

    When you install the RSG package, the following services are added to the /etc/services file on the node:

    TxServer      56969/tcp      # MDS Gateway Server
    RSiMsg        56970/tcp      # RSG Server
    

    Changes to the services file might not occur as a result of installing the DDL Gateway. The RSG package, if installed first, will make the changes.
