LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Applicability Details
Operating system
•
UNIX and Windows hosts within a single cluster
Not required for
•
Windows-only clusters
•
UNIX-only clusters
Dependencies
•
UNIX and Windows user accounts must be valid on all hosts in the cluster and must
have the correct permissions to successfully run jobs.
Limitations
•
This feature works with a uniform user name space. If users at your site have
different user names on UNIX and Windows hosts, you must enable between-host
user account mapping.
•
This feature does not affect Windows workgroup installations. If you want to map
all Windows workgroup users to a single Windows system account, you must
configure between-host user account mapping.
•
This feature applies only to job execution. If you issue an LSF command or define
an LSF parameter and specify a Windows user, you must use the long form of the
user name, including the domain name typed in uppercase letters.
Configuration to enable UNIX/Windows user account mapping
Enable the UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature by defining one or more LSF user
domains using the LSF_USER_DOMAIN parameter in lsf.conf.
Important:
Configure LSF_USER_DOMAIN immediately after you install
LSF—changing this parameter in an existing cluster requires that
you verify and possibly reconfigure service accounts, user group
memberships, and user passwords.
