The UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature enables cross-platform job submission and execution in a mixed UNIX/Windows environment. Using this feature, you can map Windows user accounts, which include a domain name, to UNIX user accounts, which do not include a domain name, for user accounts with the same user name on both operating systems.
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.
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.
These additional examples are based on the following conditions:
