LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Figure 16: With UNIX/Windows user account mapping enabled
For mixed UNIX/Windows clusters, UNIX/Windows user account mapping allows you to do
the following:
•
Submit a job from a Windows host and run the job on a UNIX host
•
Submit a job from a UNIX host and run the job on a Windows host
•
Specify the domain\user combination used to run a job on a Windows host
•
Schedule and track jobs submitted with either a Windows or UNIX account as though the
jobs belong to a single user
LSF supports the use of both single and multiple Windows domains. In a multiple domain
environment, you can choose one domain as the preferred execution domain for a particular
job.
Existing Windows domain trust relationships apply in LSF. If the execution domain trusts the
submission domain, the submission account is valid on the execution host.
