First check the license.  On a Windows server you can only install with a server license.  If you have a workstation license for SAS Enterprise Miner, you can't install on a server.  In the server license on Windows, you will get the SAS Enterprise Miner client which looks like a workstation in the start.  Do a basic install and not the default planned deployment. If you see SAS Enterprise Miner workstation configuration client selected by default after the "install SAS Foundation and Related Products", you should be ok.  If this does not work, your best bet would be to open a ticket with SAS Tech Support.  You can open a ticket by going to        http://www.support.com   Hope this helps!

Hi @htin,   I'm glad you found some useful info! If one JuanS_OCS' replies was the exact solution to your problem, can you "Accept it as a solution"? Or if one was particularly helpful, feel free to "Like" it. This will help other community members who may run into the same issue know what worked. Thanks! Anna ... View more

You are allocating very modest amounts of RAM per server. Some servers should be OK (for a lab environment), but you are likely to run out of 8 gig on a SAS mid-tier server, and on possibly also on RTDM runtimes.    Also 100GB of storage on each tier may be ok for a SAS depot + installation + configuration (even sometimes on a thin margin) but will most likely prevent you from doing configuration backups as you progress through the deployment. I'd go with 150 minimum.   Everything else is OK but may be extraneous, depending on your usage goals for a lab environment. If it's just to get a grasp on the software and its functionality you may not need all 7 servers and might be ok with a simple single-server deployment (or a single-server design + single-server runtime).   If you want to practice solution deployment in a very similar configuration to the one used with the customers in production the it makes some sense.  Even though, for a lab environment you should probably focus on not running out of RAM and Storage (that you are short of), while CPU resources make much less of a difference - unless your goal is to engage in thorough performance testing.   Good luck and have fun!   ...

@htin,   Each user that needs to start and stop LASR servers and load and unload tables must have an account on the OS that is configured for passwordless SSH (on each machine in the cluster). If your users don't have accounts on the OS, you have to use SAS Token Authentication. ... View more

Hello @htin,   1. you can deploy VA and Analytics Pro together, however I don't see the advantage, and I would not recommend you to do it, technically speaking (and if you do that, merge the licenses!) 2. speaking of usage of SAS Base, while SAS Analytics Pro is legally and technically meant for creating  your own code, VA it is not, not exactly, the SAS Base license is meant for LASR usage. There might be reduced licenses, reduced procedures, etc.   Anyway, as I said on my earlier post, I strongly suggest you to contact your local SAS representative for your company. ... View more

Did you do a sizing exercise with SAS to come up with your attached design? If you did then you should have confidence in your design. If you didn't do a sizing exercise then I strongly recommend you do one, and also call on SAS Technical help for any architecture you are not sure about.   Since you haven't provided any business requirements it is near impossible to give any useful feedback on your design specifications.  ...
