Issues with installing SAS 9.4 on IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) 6.x

Posted a month ago (248 views)

Please note the post-processing steps of SAS 9.4 fail when installing SAS on IBM Storage Scale (GPFS) 6.0.0.1.  In particular, the file copy operations initiated by Java NIO fail when the JVM attempts to use the Linux copy_file_range() system call. The failure manifests as: EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported). This causes the SAS installation and configuration steps to fail when copying large files within GPFS-mounted paths.  

 

IBM has a workaround for this issue from the Storage Scale side which is to disable the copy_file_range callback.  Please contact IBM support for details on how to do this.

 

IBM has also said this issue will be fixed with Java 27.
