Because we want to stay on 9.4 M3 on prod with RHEL 6.10 as of now. So we want to bring our dev at the same level and test it there. ... View more

The scenario is as follows: We have our prod on 9.4 M 3 and Rhel 6.4 Dev and val on 9.4 M6 and RHEL 6.10 We want to upgrade our prod OS level to RHEL 6.10 too but to test all the applications or say UAT it, we wish to first see the compatibility on Dev with the same configuration as on prod. So we plan to bring our dev environment SAS to 9.4 M3 (As on prod) and as we already have RHEL 6.10 over here we can check the performance on the dev first and if all goes well we would upgrade both later to the 9.4 M6 and upgrade prod OS to RHEL 6.10. So I wanted to know the path/Process/Sequence of the steps we should follow , Risk we have , Challenges we might face , Time it should be taking, pre requisites and post requisites to it. Any additional suggestions and documentations in support. Above all Thanks all for carving out time to answer these questions. ... View more

https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/sas-grid/ As per the document by AWS the methodology they have shared to provision SAS on AWS could be easily done by using the quick start as mentioned in the link above I have shared. While doing it we need to specify the configuration for the environment like how many grid nodes, cores etc but when in the process do we specify them. That's the information I am looking for. ...
