Introduction

This topic explains how to define an additional instance of a SAS LASR Analytic Server in metadata. Adding a server instance facilitates separation for management and ease-of-use purposes.
  • Each server instance has a unique, multi-user connection to the hardware on which the SAS LASR Analytic Server process runs.
  • Each server instance has a distinct set of associated LASR libraries and provides access to only those tables that are in an associated LASR library.

Instructions

Tip
The following instructions use SAS Management Console. To instead use SAS Environment Manager, seeRegister a SAS LASR Analytic Server Using SAS Environment Manager in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Data Administration Guide.
  1. On the Plug-ins tab in SAS Management Console, expand Environment Management. Right-click Server Manager, and select New Server.
  2. In the New Server wizard, select SAS Serversthen selectSAS LASR Analytic Server. Click Next.
  3. Enter a name for the server. Click Next.
  4. Set properties as follows:
    Single machine server
    For a distributed server, select No.
    For a non-distributed server, select Yes.
    High-Performance Analytics environment install location
    Specify the host path where files that define the cluster are located (for example, /opt/TKGrid). This field is applicable to a distributed server only.
    Number of machines to use
    Accept the default value (ALL). This field is applicable to a distributed server only.
    Click the Advanced Options button.
  5. In the Advanced Options window, select the Additional Options tab. Review the settings and make any necessary adjustments. See Advanced Options: SAS LASR Analytic Server.
    Tip
    Make sure that Signature files location on server field references a directory that has appropriate host protection.
    Click OK to close the Advanced Options window. In the wizard, click Next.
  6. Enter connection properties as follows:
    Port number
    Enter a unique port number. See In-Memory LASR Names.
    High-Performance Analytics environment host
    Enter the fully qualified machine name of the host (for example, va.abc.com).1
    Use LASR authorization service
    Leave this check box selected. See SAS LASR Authorization Service.
    1The prepopulated LASR authorization service locationfield identifies the host. For example, if the displayed location is http://va.abc.com:80/SASLASRAuthorization, then the host value is usually va.abc.com.
    Click Next.
  7. If you want to adjust the default grants of the Administer permission that the wizard applies to the server, move identities from one list to the other. Click Next.
    Note: Only users who have the Administer permission for the server can stop the server or set its tables limit. The server inherits settings from the repository ACT (default ACT), so it might not always be essential to add explicit grants.
  8. Click Finish.
