How to Install and Configure Additional Cache Locator and DIP Job Runner On SAS9.4

[Eddie305]

Anyone know how to install additional Cache Locator and DIP Job Runner on SAS9.4?

Which software components and configuration steps are required to execute to achieve this?

What we want to achieve is to prevent a single point of failure on our system.

Thank you for your sharing

Documentation on configuring an additional cache locator can be found here:

I'm not aware of any way to configure multiple DIP Job Runners. If you have SAS Grid Manager you could define it as a highly available service, then Grid Manager would start it on another grid node.
