Vantage on VMware installation components consist of templates, properties files, text files, and a deployment executable file.
- Required templates contain Vantage software and the underlying operating system.
- Optional templates include:
- DSC
- Server Management (CMIC)
- Viewpoint software and its underlying operating system, Teradata Query Service
DSC, Server Management, and Viewpoint must be deployed at the same time as the SQL Engine. They cannot be deployed separately. - Templates are ready to use and include defaults for disk space and configuration, I/O, network connections, AMPs, and memory. By default, there are 4 AMPs per node, managing 2 pdisks.
- The properties files define configuration settings for the overall Vantage on VMware environment and the specific virtual machines.
- An executable file deploys the Vantage VM based on the configuration information in the properties files.After the database is deployed, the only way to change settings is to run the removevms command and run the deploy command again.
- Text files are used in time zone settings.
