oci-sas-grid

This Terraform modules provisions all infrastructure required to deploy SAS Grid on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). They are developed jointly by Oracle and SAS.

Prerequisites

First off you'll need to do some pre deploy setup. That's all detailed here.

Clone the Terraform template

Now, you'll want a local copy of this repo. You can make that with the commands:

git clone https://github.com/oracle-quickstart/oci-sas-grid
cd oci-sas-grid/terraform
ls

Update variables.tf file

Make changes to variables.tf to change compute shapes, block volumes, etc.

Deployment and Post Deployment

Deploy using standard Terraform commands. Refer to next section for how to do the deployment in 4 stages.

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply (see below section)

Deployment in 4 stages

This deployment happens in 4 steps and below flags are used control the execution Steps

• a. By default, terraform apply will Provision n/w, compute, storage for sas grid and OCI FSS NFS (if shared storage is fss) and configure linux for SAS requirements
• b. After Step (a) is complete, set install_configure_gpfs/install_configure_lustre to true and run terraform apply to Provision GPFS or Luste (not both) resources and configure it
• c. After Step (b) is complete, set load_install_data to true and run terraform apply to Mount Shared Storage on SAS nodes and load SASDEPOT binaries and license files, etc.
• d. After Step (c) is complete, set install_configure_sas to true and run terraform apply to Install and Configure SAS binaries on SAS nodes

# used to control - provisioning and configuration of resources
# currently only supports converged direct attached architecture of GPFS. There are other automation scripts for NSD arch GPFS or client only GPFS clusters.
variable "install_configure_gpfs" {
  default = "false"
}

# used to control - provisioning and configuration of resources
# placeholder to integrate lustre client install. There are other automation scripts for full lustre install (server+clients)
variable "install_configure_lustre" {
  default = "false"
}

# used to control - provisioning and configuration of resources
# After a shared file system is ready, set this to true to mount the shared fs and to load SAS_DEPOT binaries.
variable "load_install_data" {
  default = "false"
}
  
# used to control - provisioning and configuration of resources
variable "install_configure_sas" {
  default = "false"
}
