We are trying to resolve the following warning message from DS:
Teradata_Enterprise_0: There will be some skew in the usage of the server because the number of players (3) is not evenly divided by the number of available nodes (8). [terareadop.C:439]
How is the number of players related to the number of nodes? We have a number of different config files with node definitions ranging between 8 and 12 nodes. Here's a sample:
Code: Select all
{
node "myserver" {
fastname "myserver"
pool ""
resource disk "/mydir/DataStage_work/1" {}
resource scratchdisk "/mydir/DataStage_scratch/1" {}
}
node "myserver-2" {
fastname "myserver"
pool ""
resource disk "/mydir/DataStage_work/2" {}
resource scratchdisk "/mydir/DataStage_scratch/2" {}
}
... etc., etc.,
node "myserver-8" {
fastname "myserver"
pool ""
resource disk "/mydir/DataStage_work/3" {}
resource scratchdisk "/mydir/DataStage_scratch/3" {}
}
}
I've looked at the documentation (both the PJob and Mngr) before and again now, but I don't see what I am missing. And unfortunately, there isn't anything Teradata-specific in the config file docs.
