Full Disk Encryption Full disk encryption for HDD and SSD disk storage drives in the database arrays. Processing nodes use self-encrypting drives (SED).
Disk Storage Clique configurations:
  • Flexible configurations with varying numbers of processing nodes and HSNs
  • Clique configurations may use SSD-only arrays, or combinations of SSD arrays and HDD arrays, for disk storage.
  • Each Fabric-Attached HDD disk array in an IntelliFlex cabinet contains six 5350 Camden drive enclosures:
    • Each drive enclosure contains two power supply/cooling modules.
    • The bottom drive enclosure contains two controller modules.
    • The remaining five drive enclosures contain ESMs (two ESMs per drive enclosure).
    • Each drive enclosure contains SAS storage drives.
  • Each Fabric-Attached SSD disk array in an IntelliFlex cabinet contains one 5350 Camden drive enclosure. Each enclosure contains two power supply/cooling modules, two controller modules, and SAS storage drives.
SAS storage drives:
  • 600 GB, 900 GB, or 1.2 TB HDD storage drives (2.5", 10K rpm) with write back cache
  • 1.6 TB SSD storage drives (2.5")
  • Four HDD slots for global hot spares (GHSs) per array
  • Two available SSD slots for global hot spares (GHSs) per array
HDD drive sizes cannot be mixed in an IntelliFlex system.
High Availability
  • HSNs: One node in a clique is configured as an HSN. Optionally, a second node can be configured as an additional HSN. Eliminates the degradation of database performance in the event of a node failure in the clique. Tasks assigned to the failed node are completely redirected to the HSN.
  • Global hot spares (GHS): Four HDDs per array are configured as hot spare drives. In the event of a drive failure on a RAID mirrored pair, the contents of the failed drive are copied into a hot spare drive from the mirrored surviving drive to repair the RAID pair. When the failed drive is replaced, a copy back operation occurs to restore data to the replaced drive.
  • Fallback: A Teradata Database feature that protects data in case of an AMP vproc failure. Fallback is especially useful in applications that require high availability. All databases or users are set to FALLBACK even if you specify NO FALLBACK in the ALTER TABLE or MODIFY DATABASE/USER REQUEST. You cannot override the Fallback setting during or after table creation.
    Disabling Fallback can potentially result in data loss.

    Fallback is automatic and transparent, protecting your data by storing a second copy of each row of a table on a different AMP in the same cluster. If an AMP fails, the system accesses the Fallback rows to meet requests. Fallback provides AMP fault tolerance at the table level. With Fallback tables, if one AMP fails, all data is still available. You can continue using Fallback tables without losing access to data. Fallback guarantees that the two copies of a row will always be on different AMPs. If either AMP fails, the alternate row is still available on the other AMP.
