Hi All,

 

We have started a fresh planned installation of our SAS 9.4 M5 on multi machine environment,

We have installed metadata 1 & metadata2 (clustered )on different hosts successfully. We are facing issues while installing metadata 3  configuration files on  another host.Below is the error. sas account is already on the current host where installation is being started & the filesystem is shared across all the hosts.Any clues what is causing this issue?

During the install of SAS Foundation was pam chosen to be used for user authentication?

If so, is /etc/pam.d/sasauth correctly defined?

You might try use proc permtest to debug the authentication

I think that the password that the SDW has stored for your SAS user is incorrect, or the account might be locked. Try running this manually on that node after the failure and see what it says:

 

/SAS/SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/sasumgmt -stdio -u sas -v

Hello @Keerthip,

 

did you have the chance to give a look into @boemskats's and @SimonDawson's great pointers? I think they go in the right direction.

 

Here I would like to drop just a quick addition: after installing the binaries: have you run the Operational Qualification on every metadata node?

I wonder if there are differences on your pre-requisite steps or your installation steps. I would recommend to go through them again, it is normally the case.
