LSF_AFS_CELLNAME
Syntax
LSF_AFS_CELLNAME=
AFS_cell_name
Description

Default
Undefined
LSF_AM_OPTIONS
Syntax
LSF_AM_OPTIONS=AMFIRST
| AMNEVER
Description
Determines the order of file path resolution when setting the user’s home directory.
This variable is rarely used but sometimes LSF does not properly change the directory
to the user’s home directory when the user’s home directory is automounted. Setting
LSF_AM_OPTIONS forces LSF to change directory to $HOME before attempting to
automount the user’s home.
When this parameter is undefined or set to AMFIRST, LSF:
◆ Sets the user’s $HOME directory from the automount path. If it cannot do so, LSF
sets the user’s $HOME directory from the
passwd file.
When this parameter is set to AMNEVER, LSF:
◆ Never uses automount to set the path to the user’s home. LSF sets the user’s
$HOME directory directly from the
passwd file.
Valid Values
The two values are AMFIRST and AMNEVER
Default
Undefined; same as AMFIRST
