SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed LASR) on Linux for x64

SAS Products installed on this machine:
  • SAS High-Performance Deployment for Hadoop 2.7
  • SAS High-Performance Node Installation 2.91

Supported Environments:
  • Oracle Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family

SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed LASR) requires Greenplum or Teradata (appliance obtained from vendor), or Hadoop (commodity hardware).

Apache Hadoop software is distributed with SAS software as a convenience. For support information, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/ApacheHadoopSupport.html.

SAS Data Servers

SAS Data Management Advanced contains the following SAS data servers that require additional configuration:

  • SAS Job Monitor Data Server Configuration
  • SAS Data Remediation Data Server
  • SAS Data Management Data Server

The size of each of these data servers is medium.

Note: When you configure your software, the size of each data server must be considered.

Before you install, update, or add products and solutions that result in the deployment of one or more SAS data servers to the same machine, kernel parameter changes for shared memory and semaphores are required. For more information about configuration of small, medium, and large data servers, see the section "Tuning the PostgreSQL Data Server" in the guide SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability, Second Edition. at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/intellplatform/tabs/admin94.html

SAS Metadata Server

Select a platform:

SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:

  • a 64-bit host system
  • a dedicated machine to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics
  • multi-core server hardware because SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded
  • four or more cores for production deployments

The disk I/O performance of any server-class system should be sufficient. Memory requirements are highly dependent on the product mix and usage, but 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for most large deployments. For many deployments, 4 GB of RAM are sufficient and should be considered a minimum, unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.


Middle Tier Requirements
