Dear CMS helpdesk, I am currently exploring a few directions in running large ensemble simulations on ARCHER2, before it ends its service. I am considering to use UK Met Office’s experiment manageemnt infrastructure, as it’s similar to a Japanese operational weather service where I worked previously. What I have done already: Creating ARCHER2/PUMA2 accounts. Asked a colleague for basic prerequisite to run an experiment, pulling setting from an already registered experiments through rosie. While exploring the ARCHER2, and the existing services, I encountered a few problems. That my disk quota is only 100Gb — can it be increased by up to a few Tb? When I tried to ask for the assistance through helpdesk website, sign up failed and no confirmation mail sent. What can be an issue? ![](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=c6e5b4ef35&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1873958529433322454&th=1a01a35a96afc3d6&view=fimg&fur=ip&permmsgid=msg-f:1873958529433322454&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ9eviExOGtb9gwlDsW8Bdcw_yF-T_tTFEmzpWgDH9r7yarcltx3NCDrKLYrnVWpU_gY0XFRoIzEFMYsLLyHqYeTBsOi8ogGH1NS-WPYB7NoTnpWNWB_JEd5Dto&disp=emb&zw) To register or look up the database of existing experiment setups using rosie from PUMA2, I seem like need an account on Met Office Science Repository. How can I create one? For your knowledge, my funding if from ExtAnt — an NERC funded project. Also, is there any manuals for rosie? Thank you so much for your help. Best regards, Yuiko ---

Hi Yuiko A few things to get you started. > That my disk quota is only 100Gb — can it be increased by up to a few Tb? Is this your home directory? You can see your full usage allowances on you SAFE account here ➡ [here](https://safe.epcc.ed.ac.uk/). > Also, is there any manuals for `rosie`? Yes, all the software you’ll need is well documented online. For example… - [rosie](https://metomi.github.io/rose/doc/html/tutorial/rose/furthertopics/rosie) - [cylc](https://cylc.github.io/), The workflow management system for running simulations. I don’t think I can request an account on the Met Office Repository but I will get this request sorted for you, or find out more info for doing so! All the best Jonny ---

Hi Yuiko, I’ve increased your ARCHER2 /work disk quota to 3TB. That error message looks like a logging in one rather than a sign up one. Please try signing up for a helpdesk account again. The email you sent has created a staged account for you (so there is nothing wrong with the email address). When you sign up it will link this ticket to your account. I will put a request for a MOSRS account in for you. It can take up to 2 weeks for that to come through and you will hear direct from the Met Office when it has been approved. I see that my colleague has answered your rosie question. 👍 Regards, Ros ---
