LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Description
Enables Windows workgroup account mapping, which allows LSF administrators to map all
Windows workgroup users to a single Windows system account, eliminating the need to create
multiple users and passwords in LSF. Users can submit and run jobs using their local user
names and passwords, and LSF runs the jobs using the mapped system account name and
password. With Windows workgroup account mapping, all users have the same permissions
because all users map to the same system account.
To specify the user account, include the domain name in uppercase letters (DOMAIN_NAME
\user_name).
Define this parameter for LSF Windows Workgroup installations only.

Automatic time-based configuration
Variable configuration is used to automatically change LSF configuration based on time
windows. You define automatic configuration changes in lsb.params by using if-else
constructs and time expressions. After you change the files, reconfigure the cluster with the
badmin reconfig command.
The expressions are evaluated by LSF every 10 minutes based on mbatchd start time. When
an expression evaluates true, LSF dynamically changes the configuration based on the
associated configuration statements. Reconfiguration is done in real time without restarting
mbatchd, providing continuous system availability.
Example
# if 18:30-19:30 is your short job express period, but
# you want all jobs going to the short queue by default
# and be subject to the thresholds of that queue
# for all other hours, normal is the default queue
#if time(18:30-19:30)
DEFAULT_QUEUE=short
#else
DEFAULT_QUEUE=normal
#endif
