Conflicting options

Description

A job submitted with SSH X11 forwarding cannot be used with job arrays or user account mapping.

Jobs with SSH X11 forwarding cannot be checked or modified by an esub.

Use -XF with -I to submit an interactive job using SSH X11 forwarding. The session is displayed throughout the job lifecycle.

Note: LSF does not support SSH X11 forwarding with the LSF multicluster capability.

bjobs -l displays job information, including any jobs submitted with SSH X11 forwarding.

bhist -l displays historical job information, including any jobs submitted with SSH X11 forwarding.

Optionally, specify LSB_SSH_XFORWARD_CMD in lsf.conf. You can replace the default value with an SSH command (full PATH and options allowed).

For more information about LSB_SSH_XFORWARD_CMD, see the LSF Configuration Reference.

Troubleshooting

Enable the following parameters in lsf.conf::
  • LSF_NIOS_DEBUG=1
  • LSF_LOG_MASK="LOG_DEBUG"

SSH X11 forwarding must be already working outside LSF.
