I suspect the problem has to do with PAM authentication via sasauth occurring on the Object Spawner host rather than the LSF execution host.    You could try configuring an LSF PAM file to call the home directory creation script.   https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/configure-pam-resource-limits ...

Hi @anguraj1    You will have to install and config the same way you do on other file systems. There is nothing special here just that you will have to do it only once since this file system will be shared across. Shared file system should be shared across all the compute nodes right from your master to slaves. If you aren't using EGO for HA of services, you can consider having two master nodes for creating HA for object spawner service.   You can also think of considering to have a shared home directory for users on these compute nodes, in case they save any of their stuff under home directories. It will help to have consistent user experience irrespective of the grid node their job run on.   You will also have to have LSF binaries on shared file system. If you are installation SAS Grid Manager for Platform on or after SAS Ver. 9.4M4 then its better to make SAS Installer account as the LSF administrator account too as it will help to configure platform web services without having to change permissions or add Installer account to SMC. You can see more info here - https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=gridref&docsetTarget=p1ad54icxt53fxn1wltw5tcbsplq.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en   If you are planning to use SAS Environment Manager then you will have to perform additional steps for agents as the configuration willl be shared. Details here - https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=gridref&docsetTarget=p0vmcshemrmkhvn1w9no6ktmhy4i.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en   There are few HA scenarios discussed in the below link which would help architect the platform better. https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=gridref&docsetTarget=n0pe8ywim7tmarn1bjb98qmjre4u.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en   And I believe you have already gone through the performance tuning recommendations for installation SAS Grid on AWS with IBM SS http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/performance-tuning-considerations-amazon-web-services-sas-9-4-ibm-spectrum-scale.pdf   Also since you haven't mentioned your product stack, If you have web applications (apart from SAS Studio, E-Miner) part of SAS Solutions, its better you have a confirmation from technical support if they are supported on GRID or not. My advise is to have a different application context which isn't grid enabled for web applications. HPA products and MPP VA are also not supported. ... View more

Please remember with SAS on Windows, SAS has to be installed on every node. It CANNOT be installed on a shared file system. Cheers, Margaret ... View more

Hi @anguraj1 ,   yes, you can use responsefiles for the servers installation as well. Please beware you would need to run them in the right order and keep in mind that, especially in Grid installations, you will have different servers and some of them (specially SAS Grid Compute ones) will share storage for binaries, for configuration ... it all depends on the design/architecture. I say this because certain responsefiles you will not need to re-run in certain servers. Again, it all depends on the expected architecture of your SAS platform.   Regards, Juan ... View more

Error 1009 in a flex based application is a null object deference. The best way to investigate this is to deploy the debugging version of the Adobe Flash plugin for your browser, replicate the error to try get some more details about the error then get this raised with SAS support. ... View more
