All drives in a 6800C system are HDDs.

The following configurations are supported for a coexistence 6800C 1+1 clique with HDDs:

Coexistence with 6700C
No. of HDDs per Node Configuration
168
  • One Teradata Database node plus one hot standby node to two disk arrays (1:2 ratio)
  • 42 AMPs per node (APN)
  • 168 HDDs per active node (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
  • Used with 6700C
  • SSD upgradable
Variable Configuration
  • One Teradata Database node plus one hot standby node to two disk arrays (1:2 ratio)
  • Up to 46 AMPs per node (APN)
  • Up to 184 drives per node in multiples of 4 or 6 (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
  • Used with 6700C
  • Cannot be upgraded to SSDs
Variable Configuration
  • One Teradata Database node plus one hot standby node to four disk arrays (1:4 ratio)
  • Up to around 60 AMPs per node (APN)
  • Up to 368 drives per node in multiples of 4 or 6 (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
  • Used with 6700C
  • Cannot be upgraded to SSDs

Guidelines differ depending on the system that the 6800C is being added to.

For a 6800C 1+1 clique with two disk arrays, coexisting with a 6700C system, the following guidelines apply:

  • One TPA node plus one hot standby node to two disk arrays (1:2 ratio)
  • Up to 46 AMPs per node
  • Up to 184 drives per node (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
  • Up to 92 drives per array in 2 arrays

For a 6800C 1+1 clique with four disk arrays, coexisting with a 6700C system, the following guidelines apply:

  • One TPA node plus one hot standby node to four disk arrays (1:4 ratio)
  • Up to around 60 AMPs per node
  • Up to 368 drives per node (no mixed drive types or sizes in each disk array)
  • Drives per node must be a multiple of 4 or 6
  • Up to 92 drives per array in 4 arrays
