NIS is not mandatory.  You just need a way to ensure that user accounts are visible to the lustre servers.  You could also use LDAP or even just /etc/passwd.   You’ll probably just want to choose whatever mechanism is used on your other systems.

For the purposes of testing, you could always just create the luser1 locally on each lustre server to see if things start to work.
