Deploying SAS® Grid Manager
GRDD : GRDD1
This course provides a practical, end‑to‑end introduction to deploying SAS Grid Manager. Participants walk through the complete installation and configuration workflow, including prerequisite validation, installing SAS metadata, middleware, and client components, configuring SAS agents, enabling grid services, and post‑configuration tasks.

The course emphasizes hands‑on experience with clustering, load balancing, job restart/checkpoint capabilities, and configuring both batch and interactive grid workflows. By completing a wide range of guided practice activities, learners gain confidence in building and validating a fully functioning SAS grid environment.
Learn How To
  • Validate deployment prerequisites for SAS Grid Manager
  • Install SAS Metadata Server, middleware tier, and client components for grid operations
  • Configure SAS agents, grid middleware services, and required post-installation components
  • Use the SAS LSM utility for grid configuration and validation tasks
  • Understand clustering concepts, load balancing algorithms, and workload distribution behavior
  • Configure grid-launched server pools and load-balanced servers
  • Operationalize and assess a complete SAS Grid Manager deployment
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for technical professionals responsible for deploying SAS Grid Manager in enterprise environments. It is ideal for administrators, infrastructure engineers, and consultants who need hands-on experience installing, configuring, validating, and operationalizing a production-ready SAS grid environment.
