The SAS_lsm utility provides consistent management of single- or multi-tiered SAS-related services for UNIX/Linux deployments from a single shell script. Consistent management includes tier dependency checking, starting, stopping, status checking (tier- and deployment-based), error log collection and analysis. You can execute the script from the operating system command line, via a scheduled cron process, or via your operating system reboot facility.
SAS_lsm 4.1 adds the following features and improvements:
- UserExit Management - Add capabilities to allow UserExit scripts to be called pre- or post- STATUS checks on a tier.
- Platform LSF GRID Support - Deliver utility script to easily enable integration with Platform LSF GRID deployments.
- Configuration File Wizard - Logic updates to check and catch additional user-errors when running the Wizard.
- Documentation - Denote considerations when running SAS_lsm regularly via CRON or schedulers.
- Passwordless-SSH must be enabled (into the SAS Installation User account on each machine of the deployment). This should be multi-directional to ensure full functionality.
- The BASH and SH shells are supported. Use of BASH is highly recommended.
Refer to detailed installation documentation provided in package as Install-Update-Guide.pdf.
The usage function inside SAS_lsm describes how to use the utility. A basic version of this is copied below.
[bash | sh] ${PROG} [-a <NUM> | -o <NUM> | -s] -c <CFG> [-e]
- -a NUM start deployment tier services from tier NUM to MAXTIERS
- -o NUM stop deployment tier services from MAXTIERS to tier NUM
- -s provide status of all deployment tier services
- -c CFG specify configuration file
- -e [OPTIONAL] extract potential tier error logs to a centralized location under !STATUSROOT/!CFG/
NOTE: Only one action option (-a, -o, and -s) can be run in a single command.
Start services from, above, and including tier 1: bash SAS_lsm -a 1 -c /path/to/config-file.cfg
Stop services down to (and including) tier 4. Perform log analysis if errors are encountered: bash SAS_lsm -o 4 -c /path/to/config-file.cfg -e
Check tier status for all tiers in configuration file: bash SAS_lsm -s -c /path/to/config-file.cfg
We welcome your contributions! Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to submit contributions to this project.
- Please contribute changes on a function-based level. Update or add functions as found in the repository's "lsm_components" subdirectory. Use the make_lsm.bash script (in the repository root) to combine all function files to a master SAS_lsm script before pushing changes.
- This project is looking for new contributors! We would like to implement cross-machine communication standard tooling (i.e. Ansible) in place of current direct passwordless-SSH requirements, but keep the checks and logic that are the core of SAS_lsm. If this is an area you would like to help out with, please offer contributions or reach out to the current maintainers!
