(VMs) on an Intel R1208 chassis:
An Intel R1208 VMS is available in System VMS, Small System VMS, and Cabinet VMS configurations and can be housed in a PFC cabinet, depending on the platform configuration. Each Small System VMS supports systems up to a maximum of 16 nodes and servers, and cannot be used in multi-system/multi-site ID configurations. Each Small System VMS consists of:
Each Intel R1208 System VMS supports
systems up to a maximum of 128 nodes and servers, or up to a
maximum of 128 disk arrays, and consists of:
Each Intel R1208 Cabinet VMS
consists of:
|
Virtualized Management Server
(VMS) Intel R1208 and Intel R1208WT 680 Systems |
A virtualized management server
(VMS) is an Intel R1208 or Intel R1208WT chassis in a Platform

host the following virtual machines (VMs):
|
Virtualized Management Server

A virtualized management server
(VMS) can host the following virtual machines (VMs) on an Intel
SR1625 chassis:
An Intel SR1625 VMS is available in System VMS and Cabinet VMS configurations. A 6700 cabinet or BYNET V5 cabinet can contain a System or Cabinet VMS. A TMS cabinet contains the System VMS in 6700H 3+1 clique configurations. Each Intel SR1625 System VMS supports a system up to a maximum of 64 disk arrays and consists of:
Each Intel SR1625 Cabinet VMS consists of:
|
CMIC Node Intel SR2600 (2U) Intel SR1625 (1U) |
Intel SR2600 chassis or Intel SR1625 chassis, for server management of cabinet chassis within a collective for redundancy in systems that have only one CMIC in a platform cabinet, or for system configurations that require a CMIC node in a separate cabinet:
|
Server Management Web (SMWeb) Services | Server management functions run on the CMIC VM (on a VMS). The CMIC hosts the SMWeb Services Home page and provides applications and services for server management on an MPP system:
For use by customer on-site staff members, Teradata Services Analysts in the Global Support Center (GSC), and Teradata Customer Service Representatives. The version of SMWeb on the VMSs in a system must match.
For information about using SMWeb Services, see the Teradata Server Management Web Services User Guide, B035-5350, or the online help on the SMWeb Services home page. |
Enterprise Service Workstation (SWS) | Teradata Dell R710, Dell R720, or
Dell R730 workstation dedicated to system servicing and maintenance.
Systems with an SR1625 System VMS and more than 64 disk arrays, or
an R1208 System VMS and more than 128 disk arrays, require dedicated
Enterprise SWS hardware (rather than a VMS with an SWS virtual
machine). For systems that use dedicated Enterprise SWS hardware,
the SWS hardware resides in a Platform Framework Cabinet.
The level of service depends on the
service agreement between Teradata and the customer.
Although Dell T610 SWS workstations
are not installed in a PFC cabinet at the factory, Dell T610
SWSs can be installed in a PFC cabinet at a customer
site.
|
Enterprise Viewpoint Server | Teradata Dell R710 or Dell R720
server that hosts the Viewpoint portal that contains portlets for
customer management of the Teradata Database. Systems with more than
128 nodes require dedicated Enterprise Viewpoint hardware (rather
than a VMS with a Viewpoint virtual machine). For systems that use
dedicated Enterprise Viewpoint hardware, the Viewpoint hardware can
reside in a PFC cabinet.
|
Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Console | If the system has a VMS in a PFC cabinet, the rackmount KVM resides in the PFC cabinet and has VGA and USB connections to the VMS. |
Switches |
Include:
|
Cable Modes | Teradata systems are shipped with multi-mode fiber (MMF) connections for the 10Gb Ethernet optical interface into all servers. Single-mode fiber (SMF) connections are not supported. |
BAR Storage Data Domain, Oracle, and Quantum products |
Storage
hardware and encryption key management servers. The following
are used for BAR and installed in the field by third-party
vendor personnel:
Encryption key management
servers may require a Dell 2824 1 Gb 24-port Ethernet switch
to synchronize keys between the redundant
servers.
Equipment from different
vendors can be installed in the same PFC cabinet, as long as
the cabinet build and space allocation rules are
observed.
Although the Oracle SL500 and
Data Domain 890 have been discontinued, the vendor or
Teradata personnel can consolidate existing systems in a PFC
cabinet at a customer site.
|
BAR Storage Hardware Teradata Managed Storage Server (TMSS) (Dell R720xd) Teradata Multipurpose Storage Server (TMSS) (Dell R730xd) |
Dell R720xd or Dell R730xd
server. Used as an NFS storage target with the Appliance Backup
Utility (ABU) and with the Data Stream Utility (DSU).
All TMSSs have onboard connectivity to the server management network. They can also be connected to BYNET V5 switches. If the option to connect to a BYNET
V5 switch is used, port consumption ramifications should be
considered.
