Overview

The  SAS_lsm utility provides consistent management of single- or multi-tiered SAS-related services for UNIX/Linux deployments from a single shell script.

Consistent management includes tier dependency checking, starting, stopping, status checking (tier- and deployment-based), and error log collection and analysis. You can execute the script from the operating system command line, via a scheduled cron process, or via your operating system reboot facility. Using SAS_lsm to control your SAS deployment(s) enables process orchestration and actionable tasks based on service state. Using the SAS_lsm userexits framework, any desired functionality can be executed before or after a SAS service is started or stopped.

As of SAS_lsm 4.0.x, this project is open-source and distributed through the SAS Software GitHub. Users of SAS_lsm 3.x or older should upgrade to this release, as new versions will only be posted on the GitHub page. The configuration files used in SAS_lsm 3.x are fully compatible with SAS_lsm 4.0.0 and newer, so older versions will no longer be supported.

The SAS_lsm project can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/sassoftware/SAS-lsm . We welcome forking the project and making contributions if you are interested in improving SAS_lsm!

Prerequisites

To use this utility, you must have a solid working knowledge of UNIX/Linux, and your operating system must contain these prerequisites:

• bash shell
• password-less SSH configured for deployments spread across multiple server hosts.
