LSF Daemon Startup Control
The LSF daemon startup control feature allows you to specify
a list of user accounts other than root that
can start LSF daemons on UNIX hosts. This feature also enables UNIX
and Windows users to bypass the additional login required to start res and sbatchd when
the EGO Service Controller (EGOSC) is configured to control LSF daemons;
bypassing the EGO administrator login enables the use of scripts to
automate system startup.
External Load Indices
External load indices report the values of dynamic external resources. A dynamic external resource is a customer-defined resource with a numeric value that changes over time, such as the space available in a directory. Use the external load indices feature to make the values of dynamic external resources available to LSF, or to override the values reported for an LSF built-in load index.
External Host and User Groups
Use the external host and user groups feature to maintain group definitions for your site in a location external to LSF, and to import the group definitions on demand.
Between-Host User Account Mapping
The between-host user account mapping feature enables job submission and execution within a cluster that has different user accounts assigned to different hosts. Using this feature, you can map a local user account to a different user account on a remote host.
Cross-Cluster User Account Mapping
The cross-cluster user account mapping feature enables cross-cluster job submission and execution for a MultiCluster environment that has different user accounts assigned to different hosts. Using this feature, you can map user accounts in a local cluster to user accounts in one or more remote clusters.
UNIX/Windows User Account Mapping
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.
