PrerequisiteBefore starting this procedure, do the following:
  • All of the deployer scripts are located on the Analytics DatabaseTemplate. To deploy VantageCore VMware, first create a new VM from the Analytics Database Template, assign a new virtual NIC and give it an IP address. Once the VM is up and running with an IP address, all of the installation scripts and configuration files are located in opt/teradata/tvme_mpp.
  • Make sure all required values in the properties files are present and correctly formatted as described in The common.IT.properties.json File and The node.IT.properties.json File.
Important:
  • If you plan to use Temporal, you must enable Temporal in the common.IT.properties.json file before deployment.
  • Server Management (CMIC), Viewpoint, and DSC must be deployed at the same time that Analytics Database is deployed. They cannot be deployed independently.
  • While performing this procedure, wait until VantageCore VMware is fully deployed before accessing the database.
  • For troubleshooting purposes, make copies of the common.IT.properties.json and node.IT.properties.json properties files, label them according to the system to be deployed, and then save them.
  1. Navigate to the directory containing the VantageCore VMware deployment PowerShell script:
    opt/teradata/tvme_mpp.
  2. Run pwsh.
  3. Run tdc.deploy.ps1.
  4. At the prompt, type the IP address or FQDN for your vCenter.
  5. At the prompt, type deploy, and press Enter.
    1. Select the common properties file, and press Enter.
    2. Select the node properties file, and press Enter.
    The executable connects to the vCenter server and validates the information in the properties files. When validation is successful, the executable deploys the selected templates, and configures the VMs based on the values in the properties files.
  6. Review the information and do one of the following:
    • If it is correct, press y.
    • If the information is incorrect, edit the properties files, and run the deployment executable again.
If there are no errors, the VM deploys.
  • If errors occur, the deployment executable is re-entrant, meaning if errors occur, they can be fixed and the executable runs all states again. Action is taken only as needed.
PostrequisiteAfter the VM deploys, complete the applicable procedures under Software Configuration.
