Figure 6: System-level mappings for both clusters
Only mappings configured in lsb.users on both clusters work. In this example, the common
user account mappings are:
•
user1@cluster1 to user2@cluster2
•
user3@cluster1 to user6@cluster2
User-level configuration examples
The following examples describe how user account mapping works when configured at the
user level in the file .lsfhosts in the user’s home directory. Only mappings configured
in .lsfhosts on hosts in both clusters work.

The account user1 to run jobs on cluster2
using the lsfguest account:
•
