Universal Cabinets: IntelliFlex Release 2.1 (Intel R1208WF or Dell R630 Nodes) - BAR Managed Servers - IntelliFlex Platforms - Teradata Vantage

Universal builds for IntelliFlex Release 2.1 consist of hybrid SSD configurations with equal numbers of read-intensive (RI) and write-intensive (WI) SSD arrays, or RI-only configurations using only read-intensive arrays. IntelliFlex 2.1 cabinets can be configured only as half or full cabinets. Systems can contain single or multiple cliques.

Half-cabinet configurations consist of six Advanced SQL Engine nodes and one HSN with up to four SSD arrays.

Full-cabinet configurations consist of either 12 Advanced SQL Engine nodes and one or two HSN, or a pair of six Advanced SQL Engine nodes and one HSN, both with up to eight SSD arrays.

Build Rules

Components must be installed in a certain order, with maximum numbers of each limited by the power type used in the system.

1. Install WI SSD arrays (using 5350 drive enclosures) from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order:

   Chassis in U spaces 2-3	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 6-7	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U spaces 33-34	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 37-38	Power Types BCD

   If you are updating an existing system, you may need to move a node or TMS to place the new storage array in the correct position.

2. Install RI SSD arrays (using DE224C drive enclosures) from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order:

   Chassis in U spaces 4-5	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 8-9	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U spaces 35-36	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 39-40	Power Types BCD

   If you are updating an existing system, you may need to move a node or TMS to place the new storage array in the correct position.

3. Install RBOD/EBOD (IOM) SSD arrays (using DE224C drive enclosure) from the bottom of the cabinet up, in the following order:

   RBOD in U spaces 2-3	All Power Types
   EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 4-5	All Power Types
   RBOD in U spaces 6-7	Power Types BCD
   EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 8-9	Power Types BCD
   RBOD in U spaces 33-34	All Power Types
   EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 35-36	All Power Types
   RBOD in U spaces 37-38	Power Types BCD
   EBOD (IOM) in U spaces 39-40	Power Types BCD

4. Install Advanced SQL Engine nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays. If you have a mix of Dell R630 and Intel R1208WF nodes, place the Dell nodes first, in the following order:

   Chassis in U space 2	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U space 6	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U space 8	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U space 10	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U spaces 14-19	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 25-28	All Power Types
   Chassis in U spaces 29-31	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U space 37	Power Types BCD
   Chassis in U space 33	Power Types BCD

   If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a PE node or TMS to place the new arrays in the correct position.

5. Install PE nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, in spaces left available after installing the storage arrays and Advanced SQL Engine nodes. Follow the order in step 4.

   If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a TMS to place the new PE node in the correct position.

6. Install Analytics nodes from the bottom of the cabinet up, in spaces left available after installing the storage arrays, Advanced SQL Engine nodes and PE nodes. Follow the order given in step 4.

   If you are updating an existing installation, you may need to move a TMS to place the new Vantage node in the correct position.

7. Install TMSs, SWS, SAS worker nodes, or channel servers from the bottom of the cabinet up, after installing the storage arrays and all nodes, in the following order:
   1. Consolidated TMS

      Install in ascending order, by feature number

   2. Standard TMS

      Install in ascending order, by feature number

   3. SWS
   4. SAS worker node
   5. Channel server

      Chassis in U spaces 14-17 The bottom of the chassis must be in the even-numbered U position	Power Types BCD
      Chassis in U spaces 18-19	All Power Types
      Chassis in U spaces 25-28 The bottom of the chassis must be in the odd-numbered U position	All Power Types
      Chassis in U spaces 29-30	Power Types BCD
      Chassis in U spaces 33-34	Power Types BCD

   If you are updating an existing installation, reinstall any TMSs that were removed so that all components are located in the correct positions.

8. Install all remaining components from the bottom of the cabinet up, for all power types, in the following order:

   Primary Server Management Switch, 48 Port 1 GbE	U space 1, fixed
   VMS 3.x (R1208WF), or VMS 2.x System or Cabinet VMS (R1208WT)	U space 20 and 23, if present
   KMM (optional)	U space 21, if present
   InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, first-tier (optional in expansion cabinets)	U spaces 22 and 24, if present
   InfiniBand Switch, 36-port EDR, second-tier (optional in expansion cabinets)	U spaces 20 and 21, if present
   10 GB Ethernet Switch (optional) Field Install only	U spaces 41 and 42, if present
   Secondary Server Management Switch, 48 Port 1 GbE	Attic space, fixed

Example Builds: IntelliFlex 2.1

Release 2.1 build graphics show standard configuration blocks on the left side of the image. Columns on the right show allowed positions for systems using a combination of 1U nodes and 2U node/server chassis, including TMSs, channel servers, and SWS worker nodes.

Placement of chassis must follow the install build rules without exception to adhere to power constraints for the respective power types.
