The node.IT.properties.json File - Teradata Database on VMware

The node.IT.properties.json file contains the specifications needed by the deployment executable file to install and configure a Teradata Database or Teradata Viewpoint VM.

Set the values in the node.IT.properties.json file for each Teradata Database on VMware deployment.

Unless otherwise indicated, all property settings are required.

Property Category	Properties	Description
VMware Host Details	ESXiHost	Name of the VMware host. For example: ESXiHost:esxhost01.corp.company.com
ESXi Datastore	OS_Datastore	ESXi datastore where this VM instance will reside. For example: esxhost01.datastore This datastore is only used for the VM instances and for Teradata Database storage.
VM Name	vmName	Name of the Teradata Database, Teradata Viewpoint, and DSC. Examples: vmName:TD-DBS vmName:TD-VP vmName:TD-DSC
Ethernet Network	eth0	Use only static IP4 addresses. If IPAddressSetting is dhcp, eth0 is not required.
VM Types to Deploy	vmType	Virtual machine type of the Teradata Database and Teradata Viewpoint image to deploy. For example: vmType:tpa for a database VM vmType:vp for a Viewpoint VM vmType:dsu for DSC VM vmType is required.
Template File Path	Template	Windows file path to the template locations in vCenter or your local system for Teradata Database, DSC, and Teradata Viewpoint.

Following are examples of deploying a Viewpoint template to vCenter or your local system using either an absolute path or relative path:

vCenter deployment (notice there is no .ova extension):
C:\Templates\SP3Ph2\Teradata_Viewpoint_16.00.00_SLES11_SP3_on_VMware_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Local deployment using absolute path:
C:\Templates\SP3Ph2\Teradata_Viewpoint_16.00.00_SLES11_SP3_on_VMware_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ova
Local deployment using relative path:
Teradata_Viewpoint_16.00.00_SLES11_SP3_on_VMware_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ova

The download file names listed above are appended with 14 numbers representing when the template was created by Teradata: the year (4 digits), month (2 digits), day (2 digits), hours (2 digits), minutes (2 digits), and seconds (2 digits).

Following is an example of deploying a Viewpoint virtual machine from your local machine using an absolute path:

   "Datastore":  "cs3097-05.datastore",
