Usage Note 36801: Define SAS® Metadata Server repository files to a local or high performance, high availability file system to avoid metadata server interruptions
Define SAS Metadata Server repository files to a local directory path or a high performance, high availability network file system. I/O errors or file locking issues on network file systems might cause interruptions in SAS Metadata Server availability.
Locking issues might result in the server failing to start and the
following errors might appear in the SAS Metadata Server log:
ERROR [00000008] :xxxxxx - The SAS™ Metadata Server I/O subsystem has returned error message '
ERROR: A lock is not available for Innnnnnn.METAIMDB.DATA.'.
ERROR [00000008] :xxxxxx - The Repository could not be accessed as specified because the I/O subsystem returned error message '
ERROR: A lock is not available for Innnnnnn.XXXXXXXX.DATA.'.
ERROR [00000008] :xxxxxx - The Foundation repository could not be opened.
ERROR [00000008] :xxxxxx - An error occurred while attempting to Initialize the Repository Manager.
As a best practice, only keep repositories on local or high performance, high availability network file systems.
