\user_name or DOMAIN_NAME\user_group). Separate multiple user names by a
space and enclose the list in parentheses ( ):
(user4 user6)
REMOTE
A list of remote users or user groups in the form user_name@cluster_name or
user_group@cluster_name. To specify a Windows user account or user group, include
the domain name in uppercase letters (DOMAIN_NAME\user_name@cluster_name
or DOMAIN_NAME\user_group@cluster_name). Separate multiple user names by a
space and enclose the list in parentheses ( ):
(user4@cluster2 user6@cluster2)
DIRECTION
Specifies whether the user account runs jobs locally or remotely. Both directions must
be configured on the local and remote clusters.
•
The export keyword configures local users/groups to run jobs as remote users/
groups.
•
The import keyword configures remote users/groups to run jobs as local users/
groups.
Example of a UserMap section
On cluster1:
Begin UserMap
LOCAL REMOTE DIRECTION
user1 user2@cluster2 export
user3 user6@cluster2 export
End UserMap
On cluster2:
Begin UserMap
LOCAL REMOTE DIRECTION
user2 user1@cluster1 import
user6 user3@cluster1 import
End UserMap
Cluster1 configures user1 to run jobs as user2 and user3 to run jobs as user6.
Cluster2 configures user1 to run jobs as user2 and user3 to run jobs as user6.
Automatic time-based configuration
Variable configuration is used to automatically change LSF configuration based on time
windows. You define automatic configuration changes in lsb.users 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.
