Hi,

I have been using SAS VA (Non-Distributed Mode) for quite sometime. I am just curious to know that can we have SAS VA(Distributed Mode) be installed in single system for test purpose( just like non distributed mode) or it is compulsory to have multiple systems to install and configure.

Any suggestions will be great help.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhishek

To answer your questions.

1. Yes a non distributed system can be upgraded to a distributed system.

2. Yes, non distribute and distributed are different.

It's definitely not a supported configuration, if possible at all.

Why? What do you want to test that you can't test in non-distributed environment?

Abhishek,

The answer to your question is no, there is a distributed VA and a non distributed VA.

You can certainly asked for a non distributed VA for Test.

Hi Justin,

We do have some scenario, where one of our client do have distributed mode license but are having only single system to start up with. The remaining hardware will be available with them after some months, but they wanted to start the work immediately.

So I would like to get some help regarding following issues:-

1. We can start the work by using Non-Distributed mode which can be installed in single system. Can we later upgrade the system to distributed mode?

2. Do we require separate license for installing/configuring "Non Distributed Mode" or the present SAS Depot(Distributed Mode License) which is available with the clients will suffice the need.

Any Suggestions will be a lot to me.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhishek
