Platform LSF Reference Version 6.2

lsf.conf
Platform LSF Reference
575
◆ In a mixed cluster, this parameter defines a 2-way, 1:1 user map between UNIX user
accounts and Windows user accounts belonging to the specified domain, as long as
the accounts have the same user name.
This means jobs submitted by the Windows user account can run on a UNIX host,
and jobs submitted by the UNIX account can run on any Windows host that is
available to the Windows user account.
If this parameter is undefined, the default user mapping is not enabled. You can still
configure user mapping at the user or system level. User account mapping is required to
run cross-platform jobs in a UNIX-Windows mixed cluster.
Default
❖ If you upgrade from LSF 4.0.1 or earlier, the default is the existing LSF user
domain.
❖ For a new, Windows-only cluster, this parameter is undefined (no LSF user
domain, no default user mapping).
❖ For a new, mixed UNIX-Windows cluster, the default is the domain that the
Windows installation account belongs to. This can be modified during LSF
installation.
