Validating the Analytics Environment Deployment :: SAS® High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure 3.6: Installation and Configuration Guide

Overview of Validating

You have at least two methods to validate your SAS High-Performance Analytics environment deployment:

To validate your SAS High-Performance Analytics environment deployment by issuing a simsh command, follow these steps:

Log on to one of the machines in the analytics cluster.
Enter the following command:
```
/HPA-environment-installation-directory/bin/simsh hostname
```
This command invokes the hostname command on each machine in the cluster. The host name for each machine is printed to the screen.

You should see a list of known hosts similar to the following:
```
myblade006.example.com: myblade006.example.com
myblade007.example.com: myblade007.example.com
myblade004.example.com: myblade004.example.com
myblade005.example.com: myblade005.example.com
```
Proceed to Configuring the Analytics Environment for a Remote Parallel Connection.

To validate your SAS High-Performance Analytics environment deployment by issuing a Message Passing Interface (MPI) command, follow these steps:

Log on to the root node using the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment installation account.

Enter the following command:

/HPA-environment-installation-directory/TKGrid/mpich2-install/bin/mpirun 
-f /etc/gridhosts hostname

You should see a list of known hosts similar to the following:

myblade006.example.com
myblade007.example.com
myblade004.example.com
myblade005.example.com

Proceed to Configuring the Analytics Environment for a Remote Parallel Connection.
