hello,
I have tried to configure this suite: u-ct529 with IOServers.
I modified the site config file (ala kscale technique) and was able to see 8 servers start with last 8 of MPI tasks (120-127).
Unfortunately it very quickly fails as indicated by portio. which I think is ATMOSCNTL.
/work/n02/n02/mricha/cylc-run/u-ct529/work/20151129T0000Z/TM_4km_RA3_p3_um_fcst_000
(I think you should be able to see it as sticky-bit is modding permissions)
I modified the suite to run the 1st level nest of terramaris for 3hours simtime.
many thanks for any advice,
Mark
