| Understanding SAS Grid Servers |
A
Grid Monitoring Server is also required in order to use grid computing. It
is not a component of a SAS application server nor a SAS Management Console
plug-in. The grid monitoring server obtains grid usage information from the
grid middleware provider (Platform LSF or other). The information is then
available for use by the Grid Manager plug-in that is available through the
SAS Management Console. During configuration, the user has to specify the
middleware provider and the program module that is used to provide the usage
information.
Specific configuration information (especially for non-LSF middleware
providers) is available on the SAS Scalability and Performance focus area: http://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid/gridinstall.html.
