worker_drive_map

Synopsis​

The worker drive map feature, particular to Windows workers, which instructs workers to automatically mount specified drives before they process jobs. If there is a conflict due to the same drive letter being mapped in the worker_drive_map and in the job's drive mapping (sampled from the submitting user's environment), the drive mapping in the worker_drive_map is the one that will be used

 

This parameter also requires that the worker_flags have the auto_mount flag set.

To make worker_drive_maps, either in each worker's qb.conf, or the qbwrk.conf in the supervisor, set the following variable:

worker_drive_map = {X:|\\SERVER\SHARE  
}

To specify username/password for a worker drive map, the following syntax may be used:

worker_drive_map = {X:|USER:ENCRYPTED_PASSWD@\\SERVER\SHARE
}

The ENCRYPTED_PASSWD parameter comes from the output of qbhash or qblogin --display.

 

The syntax for this parameter is very strict:

  • the opening brace "{" must be on the same line as the '= ' sign
  • the first mapping definition must come immediately after the opening brace
  • further mappings must be each on a new line, with no leading spaces
  • no blank lines between mappings
  • the closing brace must be on its own line, with no leading spaces

worker_drive_map = {Z:|\\home\geebers  
}
    
worker_drive_map = {X:|USER:ENCRYPTED_PASSWD@\\SERVER\SHARE  
}
    
worker_drive_map = {Z:|qubeuser:0fbc8b129210914f769564cbd30ae5cb4397f9615299ce8d1e1cf065e97bf063@\\rnd\home
