PrerequisiteVerify the database VMware templates are in the /opt/teradata/tdvm-quickstart/Templates directory.
  1. Deploy the SWS OVA with a public/lab IP address.
    This will be the deployer VM.
    1. Add a new network adapter to the deployer VM.
    2. Power on the deployer VM.
    3. If DCHP Network: The deployer VM will automatically obtain an IP address.
    4. If Static Network: Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0, /etc/sysconfig/network/routes, and /etc/resolv.conf files.
    5. Once the VM has an IP address, use SSH to copy the template OVA images into opt/teradata/tdvm-quickstart/Templates.
  2. Log on to the deployer VM using ssh.
  3. Start powerCLI:
    /opt/teradata/tdvm-quickstart

    pwsh

    ./tdc.quickstart.ps1

  4. Initiate the deployer:
    1. Access vCenter (specify the IP address or FQDN).
    2. Specify the VMware vCenter that is managing the ESXi hosts.
    3. Specify the server credentials (user and password). Specify the vCenter user name and password.
  5. If the deployer is being run for the first time, you will have the option to deploy in Developer Mode or Production Mode.
    1. Developer Mode: Monitoring applications are optional and there is no support available.
    2. Production Mode: Monitoring applications deploy as default and is fully supported by Teradata.
  6. If developer mode or production mode was selected, this display will show:
    "Re-Entrant Deployment Detected. Previous Deployment - Quick Start [Deployment Mode]."
    Do you want to continue with this deployment or start over?
  7. If the deployer detects previously entered values, you have the option to continue the deployment or initiate a new deployment.
    "Previous Deployment was a [Deployment Option]. Do you want to continue with this deployment or start over?
    "Do you want to continue where you left off?

    If you type Y, the deployment displays the next prompt in the deployment menu.

    If you type D, the deployment displays the current state of all input fields.

    If you type S, you can start over the process to input all the fields.

    If you select the Developer Mode, then the applications are optional.

  8. Type the task number corresponding to the deployment you want to perform:
    • 1: Single VM database plus applications such as Server Management (CMIC), Data Stream Center (DSC), and Viewpoint (VP).
    • 2: 2-VM database plus applications such as Server Management (CMIC), Data Stream Center (DSC), and Viewpoint (VP).
  9. Specify the Site ID.
  10. Specify the database name.
  11. Specify the ESXi host.
  12. Specify the number of physical cores for each VM.
  13. Specify the memory in MB for each VM.
    The list varies depending on the number of datastores on the ESXi host.
  14. Type the value corresponding to the datastore.
  15. Specify the database storage in GB for each VM.
  16. Specify the domain.
    The domain name is the network domain that your system will be accessible from.
  17. Specify the public port group.
  18. Specify the public port group subnet mask.
  19. Specify the primary DNS IP.
    The primary DNS server should be valid for the deployed systems.
  20. Specify the secondary DNS IP.
    The secondary DNS server should be valid for the deployed systems.
  21. Specify the primary NTP Address.
    The NTP server is used for clock synchronization for your VMs.
  22. Specify the secondary NTP Address.
  23. Specify the BYNET port group.
  24. Specify the BYNET port group 2.
  25. Specify the OS timezone.
    Enter in the OS timezone identifier, for example, US/Pacific. Refer to the readme for acceptable formats. The default is US/Pacific.
  26. Database VM 1
