About Managing Resources

For distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server, the server often needs to share resources with other processes, or other servers on the same cluster. At server start-up, the server reads the /opt/TKGrid/resource.settings file. This file is delivered with the server software and initially all the settings are disabled.
The following sections describe the basics for how you can modify the file to manage resources. The file that is delivered with the software includes examples of evaluating the following before allocating resources:
  • the user ID that starts a server or job
  • the application name
If you are unsure of the application names, you can use the grid monitor that is described in this book to see the application names of running servers and jobs.
Note: After you modify the file, copy it to all machines in the cluster, unless you performed a shared installation that accessible to all the machines.
