Starting and stopping LSF in SAS

1) Login as root on all your host machine (Note: if your environment has configured to use lsf account id then use that)
2) Ensure LSF state is clean.
 # /etc/rc3.d/S99lsf stop
Stopping the LSF subsystem
# sleep 20
# /etc/rc3.d/S99lsf status
Show status of the LSF subsystem
lim is stopped...
res is stopped...
sbatchd is stopped...

3) Start LSF on each node .  Check status after 70 seconds before moving to next node.

# /etc/rc3.d/S99lsf start
# sleep 70
# /etc/rc3.d/S99lsf status

4) Check if bhosts shows atleast 2 nodes 'ok'  and ProcessManager in EGO using commands

Login using your id on the host that has process manager and run following commands to verify whether the lsf is up:
. /lsf/conf/profile.lsf
lsid
bhosts
egosh service list

It is important to follow the order to run the services correctly. In this post we can see what is the order to start / stop and to generate the sas.servers script. It is not really required to memorize the order because SAS provide an utility to create the sas.servers script automatically which will start / stop the service in order. Starting order SAS Metadata server Olap server SAS object spawner SAS / SHARE server SAS / connect spawner SAP table server SAP remote services SAS deployment tester server Stopping will be the same in reverse. How to create sas.server script? We can create sas.server script by using generate_boot_script.sh. if you have made any changes to your environment like adding a new server or spawner we can use the script to generate new sas.server. You can use the script even if you have removed the spanner o...

Click properties -> option tab -> advanced options -> launch properties. Check whether Allow XCMD is checked. The issue arises if the Allow XCMD is not checked. In above image, Allow XCMD option is not checked. It should be checked to run OS commands from SAS code. In Unix /Linux machines, this XCMD option can be enabled by using system option XCMD in sasv9 config file or workspaceserver.sh script f...
