Hello, I am trying to follow the advice on test.platforms.c8. I have confirmed the puma2 setup works: $ rose host-select archer2 ln02 I did set CYLC\_VERSION=8 However the archer2\_bg task failed. Of course the localhost\_bg worked. and the third task (jasmin sci8?) did not start. [I have never tried to jasmin from archer2] ~mricha/cylc-run should be readable. any suggestions welcome. I hope it is a straightforward solution. Mark ---

Mark Did it fail repeatedly? Grenville ---

Can you log into ln01,ln02,ln04 and [sci8.jasmin.ac.uk](http://sci8.jasmin.ac.uk) from puma2 without being asked for any information (password etc.)? ---

I think so. “submit failed”. what is a cylc 8 command to reset and start a task in tui? (Sorry am at UKMO meeting so intermittent comms). ---

Hi Jeff, well I thought it would be unlikely as it is quite a palaver just to login from a standard university system. I can confirm ssh [sci8.jasmin.ac.uk](http://sci8.jasmin.ac.uk) does not work from ln02. I always have to go to [login2.jasmin.ac.uk](http://login2.jasmin.ac.uk) and use 2FA and use my jasmin user-id (not same as any of my archer2 ids.) I did try ssh -l jasmin\_id [sci8.jasmin.ac.uk](http://sci8.jasmin.ac.uk) as well. I am not particular worried about jasmin as I have not read any doc guidance on doing that. it just happens tobe part of Annettes test suite. I wonder why the archer2\_bg did not work when I have proved for myself that I can run a standard UM 13.2 suite okay. Does it need CYLC\_VERSION=8 on the lnXX node? Mark ---

Hi Mark The error seems to be coming from this file `/home/n02/n02/mricha/cylc-run/test.platforms.c8/run1/log/scheduler/01-start-01.log` ```auto 2024-06-19T19:10:41+01:00 ERROR - platform: ln01_bg - initialisation did not complete COMMAND: ssh -oBatchMode=yes -oConnectTimeout=8 \ -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no ln01 env CYLC_VERSION=8.2.5 \ CYLC_ENV_NAME=cylc-8.2.5-1 bash --login -c \ 'exec "$0" "$@"' cylc remote-init archer2 \ $HOME/cylc-run/test.platforms.c8/run1 \ run='$DATADIR/cylc-run/test.platforms.c8/run1' RETURN CODE: 2 STDERR: Usage: cylc [task] remote-init [--indirect-comm=ssh] UUID RUND (This command is for internal use.)

Hello Jeff and Grenville, I just had some great local support. It seems I missed a step in the PUMA2 setup because I already have .bash\_profile. I should have looked closer - I now have . /work/y07/shared/umshared/bin/rose-um-env-puma2 on archer login account. basic error on my part, sorry. Thanks for looking. Mark
