After deploying a DSC VM, you must log in to the VM and initialize the DSC.
  1. From the Azure portal, note the following of the Viewpoint VM:
    • The private IP address.
    • If applicable, either the public IP or public DNS.
  2. Log on to the VM using the authentication type you chose when deploying the VM.
  3. Switch to the root user environment.
    # sudo su -
  4. Initialize DSC on the VM, either interactively or non-interactively.
    For either of the following options change the DSC repository password to the Azure VM ID.
    Option Description
    Interactively
    1. Run dsu-init without an argument
      .# /opt/teradata/client/version/dsa/commandline/dsu-init
      where version is the version of DSC you are initializing.
    2. Enter the private-DNS of the Viewpoint VM to be used with DSC at the prompt to provide information for an internal Teradata Database repository that DSC uses to store its metadata.
    Non-interactively
    1. Run dsu-init with any of the optional arguments.
      # /opt/teradata/client/version/dsa/commandline/dsu-init -v vp private-DNS
      where:
      • version is the version of DSC you are initializing.
      • vp private-DNC is the private-DNS of the Viewpoint VM to be used with DSC.

      Automated scripts initialize DSC on the VM without further input from you.

  5. Obtain the DBC and DSUADMIN passwords. The default setting of these passwords is only alphanumerics of this vmID.
    1. Run vmuid.py.
      # python /opt/teradata/client/version/dsa/commandline/vmuid.py
      where version is the version of the DSC you are initializing.
    2. Remove the dashes that resulted from running the script.
DSC is ready to use. The script sets the repository target group. The repository backup will be stored on the local machine at /var/opt/teradata/dsc/pathRepo.
