After deploying a Data Mover instance, you must check the Vantage status, verify Data Mover components are ready to use, and install and configure the ClientHandler package on source and destination Teradata systems.
The time zone for the Teradata Data Mover instance defaults to the time zone of the AWS availability zone.
- From the AWS Management Console, note the Private IP and either the Public IP or Public DNS of the Data Mover instance.
-
Do one of the following from the SSH client console:
Deployment Type Action Ecosystem and AWS CloudFormation Log on to the Data Mover master instance as ec2-user using the applicable AWS key pair. Manual and 1-Click Log on to the Data Mover instance as ec2-user using the applicable AWS key pair. # ssh -i private-key-file.pem ec2-user@data-mover-public-IP data-mover-public-DNS
-
Switch to the root user environment.
# sudo su -
-
Check the status of the database.
# pdestate -a
PDE state is RUN/STARTED.DBS state is 4: Logons are enabled - Users are logged onThe Data Mover components automatically start after the Vantage repository starts. -
If Teradata is used as a source and target system for data movement, add the COP entries with private IP addresses to one of the following:
- /etc/hosts file on all Data Mover instances including each additional Data Mover agent instance
- DNS
The TDPIDs can be used in the Data Mover job XML for data movement. -
