Modifying Grid Monitoring Server Definitions

The initial configuration of the grid monitoring server is performed by the SAS Deployment Wizard. However, a SAS grid administrator might need to modify the existing grid metadata or add new grid metadata definitions.
A SAS administrator performs these steps to specify or modify the required and optional properties as metadata for the Grid Monitoring Server:
  1. In SAS Management Console, open the metadata repository that contains the metadata for the SAS Grid Server.
  2. In the navigation tree, select Server Manager.
  3. Find the metadata object for the Grid Monitoring Server.
  4. Right-click the metadata object for the Grid Monitoring Server, and then select Properties.
  5. In the Properties window for the Grid Monitoring Server, click the Options tab.
  6. Here are the fields on the Options tab:
    Provider
    the grid middleware provider. This value is Platform. This value is used to communicate with the grid control server.
    Module Name
    specifies the shared library name or the class name of the support plug-in for Platform Suite for SAS. Leave this field blank unless directed otherwise by SAS Technical Support.
    Options
    the options needed by the grid monitoring server to connect to the grid server.
    RTM Host Name
    specifies the URL for the RTM host.
  7. After you complete the field entries, click OK to save the changes and close the Grid Monitoring Server Properties window.
  8. In the display area (right side) on SAS Management Console, right-click the Connection object for the Grid Monitoring Server, and then select Properties.
  9. In the Properties window for the Grid Monitoring Server Connection, click the Options tab. Here are the fields on this tab:
    Authentication Domain
    the authentication domain that is used for connections to the server. This value is the authentication domain of the machine that Grid Management Services (GMS) is running on.
    Host Name
    the network address of the grid control server.
    Port
    the port that is used to connect to the grid control server. The default value is 1976 for Platform Grid Management Service.
  10. After you complete the entries, click OK to save the changes and close the Grid Monitoring Server Connection Properties window.
