This section gives general instructions for NFS connections. For a specific server model, refer to those instructions.
You must establish a mount point for each Teradata Database node that functions as an Appliance Backup Utility client.-
Provide an external disk storage device mount point.
Disk Storage Device Information Example Notes VLAN Name ntap-b07-c0 The VLAN name is used in the mount command if DNS lookup is enabled. VLAN IP Address 128.23.4.567 The VLAN IP address is used in the mount command if DNS lookup is not enabled. NAS Name Backup_Teradata_b07002 - On each Teradata Database node that functions as an Appliance Backup Utility client, create an abu_storage directory under /var.
-
On every node under the /var/abu_storage directory, create a subdirectory with a unique suffix.
In the example, each node number is added to abu_output.
Node Name Local Mount Point Directory Node_1-2 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-2 Node_1-3 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-3 Node_1-4 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-4 -
Mount the external storage device to each node.
The following table lists mount commands for an NFS storage device that is mounted to three nodes.
Node Name Command for Mounting NFS Storage Device Node_1-2 mount -t nfs -o rw 128.23.4.567:/Backup_Teradata_b07002 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-2 Node_1-3 mount -t nfs -o rw 128.23.4.567:/Backup_Teradata_b07002 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-3 Node_1-4 mount -t nfs -o rw 128.23.4.567:/Backup_Teradata_b07002 /var/abu_storage/abu_output_1-4
