What is Required to Use the SAS LASR Analytic Server Engine?

To use the SAS LASR Analytic Server engine, the following are required:
  • access to the machines in the cluster where a SAS LASR Analytic Server is running. A server instance is started with the LASR procedure.
  • an operating system user ID that is configured for passwordless secure shell (SSH) on the machines in the cluster
The requirement for passwordless SSH is not unique to using the engine. Passwordless SSH is used throughout SAS High-Performance Analytics. The SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console can be used to simplify configuring users for passwordless SSH.
