Modifying Grid Monitoring Server Definitions

The initial configuration of the grid monitoring server is performed by the SAS Deployment Wizard. However, a SAS grid administrator might need to modify the existing grid metadata or add new grid metadata definitions.
A SAS administrator performs these steps to specify or modify the required and optional properties as metadata for the Grid Monitoring Server:
  1. In SAS Management Console, open the metadata repository that contains the metadata for the SAS Grid Server.
  2. In the navigation tree, select Server Manager.
  3. Find the metadata object for the Grid Monitoring Server.
  4. Right-click the metadata object for the Grid Monitoring Server, and then select Properties.
  5. In the Properties window for the Grid Monitoring Server, click the Options tab.
  6. The values for each field are different according to the grid middleware provider you use. This section generally lists the values used with Platform Suite for SAS. See http://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid for values for other middleware providers. The fields on the Options tab are:
    Provider
    the grid middleware provider. For Platform Suite for SAS, this value is Platform. This value is used to communicate with the grid control server.
    Module Name
    specifies the shared library name or the class name of the middleware provider's support plug-in. Leave this field blank unless directed otherwise by SAS Technical Support.
    Options
    the options needed by the grid monitoring server to connect to the grid server.
  7. After you complete the field entries, click OK to save the changes and close the Grid Monitoring Server Properties window.
  8. In the display area (right side) on SAS Management Console, right-click the Connection object for the Grid Monitoring Server, and then select Properties.
  9. In the Properties window for the Grid Monitoring Server Connection, click the Options tab. The fields on this tab are:
    Authentication Domain
    the authentication domain used for connections to the server.
    Host Name
    the network address of the grid control server.
    Port
    the port used to connect to the grid control server. If set to 0 (zero), the default port for the grid provider is used (if a default value exists).
  10. After you complete the entries, click OK to save the changes and close the Grid Monitoring Server Connection Properties window.
