Getting Started with the Deployment :: SAS(R) 9.4 In-Database Products: Administrator's Guide, Seventh Edition

About the Deployment

This chapter describes standard deployment of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop. SAS sends an email to a contact person at your business or organization. This email includes instructions for downloading SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop to the SAS Software Depot. After downloading the software, you can use the SAS Deployment Manager to deploy it. The conditions under which you use the SAS Deployment Manager and the prerequisites for using it are described in When to Deploy the SAS In-Database Deployment Package Using the SAS Deployment Manager and Prerequisites for Using the SAS Deployment Manager to Deploy the In-Database Deployment Package. Although these topics discuss the SAS Deployment Manager in relation to deploying the SAS In-Database Deployment Package for Hadoop, the prerequisites are the same for the deployment of any component.

If your site does not meet the conditions for using the SAS Deployment Manager, you can deploy the SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop components manually. The individual components of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop and the processes for manual installation are discussed in the following chapters: SAS In-Database Deployment Package for Hadoop, SAS In-Database Technologies for Data Quality Directives, and SAS Data Management Accelerator for Spark.

Note: For further specific information about SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop, see Introduction.

Before Deployment

If you are installing a new version or reinstalling a previous version of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop, you must deactivate or remove other existing SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop parcels or stacks after installing the new one. More than one parcel or stack can be deployed on your cluster, but only one parcel can be activated at a time. See Deactivating or Removing Existing Versions.

Overview of Deployment Steps

Here are the tasks to be completed during deployment:

Configure Kerberos, if appropriate, and then provide required configuration values to the vApp user.
Identify a Windows server in a shared network location that is accessible to vApp users.
Review the Hadoop Environment topic from the system requirements for SAS Data Loader 2.4.
Create parcels or stacks using SAS Deployment Manager.
Deploy services using Cloudera Manager or Ambari.
Collect required files from the Hadoop cluster.
Make the required vApp directories available on the Windows server in the shared network location.
Configure the Hadoop cluster, and then provide required configuration values to the vApp user.
Check for SAS Notes and hot fixes that might be available.

Note: If you switch to a different distribution of Hadoop after the initial installation of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop, you must reinstall and reconfigure SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop on the new Hadoop cluster.
