After you install and
configure Platform Suite for SAS, you can use the SAS Deployment Wizard
to configure the grid control server. The SAS Deployment Wizard installs
and configures these components:

If you are installing Platform Suite for SAS on a UNIX
machine, you might need to source the profile.lsf file before you
start the SAS Deployment Wizard. The hostsetup command in the installation
procedure for Platform LSF version 7 includes the ability to source
the LSF profile to the default profile for all users. If this option
was not used in the installation process or did not work correctly,
you must use the following procedure. This procedure enables the SAS
Deployment Wizard to find the addresource utility. To source the file,
follow these steps:
-
Start the LSF daemons.
The easiest method for doing this is to reboot the computer on which
Platform Suite for SAS is installed.
-
Using the default profile
for the machine, issue this command:
. LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf
Replace LSF_TOP with
the directory in which Platform LSF is installed. Note that the command
starts with a period.
The amount of user input
that is required during the installation and configuration process
depends on whether you choose an Express, Typical, or Custom install.
For information about running the SAS Deployment Wizard, see
SAS
Deployment Wizard User's Guide.
An Express installation
does not request any grid-specific information. Default values are
used in all cases, so you must verify that these values match the
values needed for your environment
The Platform Process
Manager information page enables you to specify the host name and
port of the machine on which Platform Process Manager installed.
During the installation
and configuration process for a Custom install, the SAS Deployment
Wizard displays these pages that request grid-specific information:
-
The Platform Process
Manager information page enables you to specify the server on which
you installed Platform Suite for SAS and the port used to connect
to the server.
-
The
SAS
Grid Control Server page enables you to specify the name
of the SAS Logical Grid Server and the SAS Grid Server. Specify the
grid control server machine and port number. For Platform Suite for
SAS, specify a value of
0
in the
Port field.
-
The
Grid
Control Server Job Information page enables you to specify
how jobs run on the grid. Specify the command used to start the server
session on the grid, workload values, and additional options for the
grid. The directory in the
Grid Shared Directory Path field
is used by grid programs (such as the SAS Grid Manager Client Utility)
to store information. The location must be accessible by all grid
nodes, and all grid users must have Read and Write access to the directory.
For information about
the values used in these fields, see Modifying SAS Logical Grid Server Definitions.
-
The
SAS
Grid Monitoring Server page enables you to specify the
name, machine, and port for the grid monitoring server.
