LASR Library Size Allocation

[Raven01]

I have created individual LASR libraries in the Public LASR server for each user group. I have created them inside /Shared Data/SAS Visual Analytics/ Autoload/VALIBLA. Is there a way where I can limit the size of each library to 8GB each?

When you say limit the size, do you mean the size of the LASR analytics server i.e. the in-memory server, or something else ?

[Raven01]

It's the size of the LASR library. LASR server should not have limitation.

Hello @Raven01,

I guess you want to do this for self-service, not for controlled Autoload folders.

No, there is no way to limit the size allocation for a SAS library.

• You can limit the size of a LASR server (hence, in your case, 1 autoload folder would be a 1-1 relationship with 1 LASR server)
• Or you can use disk/folder quotas on the file system (hence, a question to your OS admins).

Thanks, @JuanS_OCS. If I try to limit the size of a LASR Server, can I use the same port used by LASR Public Server? Also, for the disk/folder, do you mean physical folders or logical folders?

Hi @Raven01,

each LASR server requires to listen on different port numbers. But you can create as many LASR servers as you wish, and then attatch the autoload folders to those. Actually, you can create easily autoload folders with the SAS Deployment Manager (if 9.4 M3+) and the process can create new LASR servers automatically for you and attach the Autoload folder to the LASR, all in a single shot.

Regarding quotas, I mean both, it depends on the OS level you are.
