The table below describes the PowerCLI commands for Teradata Database on VMware that are referenced in this guide. Commands are sometimes referred to as states.
The deploy command runs a script that performs a full deployment. The script sequentially runs all of the commands listed except for revoke_license, poweroff, and removevms.
The following commands are laid out in the order they are to be executed. We recommend you follow the order in which the steps are listed. For troubleshooting purposes, most commands can be run independently if needed.
