For more information on mainframe configuration, see Teradata® Director Program Reference, B035-2416 and Teradata® Tools and Utilities for IBM z/OS Installation Guide (B035-3128).
  1. In the common.IT.properties.json file, enter the TDP logical host ID in the MainframeLHID field.
  2. Add the vNodes to the appropriate MVS etc.hosts file in the following format:
    HOST : ipaddr : vmnameNTCI n:: ::
    ipaddr
    IP address of the VM
    NTCI n:: ::
    Representation of a Teradata network processor (NP) name

    There is no space between the VM name and the NP name. There is a space between the second and third trailing colon.

    The following is an example of a three-vNode system:
    HOST : 123.12.123.123 : VMNAMEntci1:: ::
HOST : 123.12.123.124 : VMNAMEntci2:: ::
HOST : 123.12.123.125 : VMNAMEntci3:: ::
  3. Edit the TDP Parm file to add the NP information.
    The following is the syntax of a three-vNode system:
    CONFIG NP DATABASE  vmname 
CONFIG NP LHID  logical host id 
START NP1
START NP2
START NP3
  4. Ping the VM from the mainframe to confirm the deployment using the following syntax:
    For a single-node system:
    tso ping vmname
    For an MPP system, ping the individual nodes:
    tso ping vmname1
