PPTransfer failure with UM to GPW JASMIN (ARCHER2)

Hello,

I’m trying to run the UM on ARCHER2 for the first time. I’ve copied a suite from Luke Abraham (u-dd635) which works and archives correctly to the group workspace on JASMIN. My copied suite is u-de764 and also I’m trying to archive to the same group workspace on JASMIN. The model setup is a nudged run - the run itself works fine. After the first (and second) month the workflow is getting stuck on the PPtransfer stage.

I’m been through the page to configure PPTransfer page and followed the instructions (https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/unified-model/pptransfer/) and my credentials are in date, but the model is still failing and I’m getting the following error:

I’ve checked and my permissions on cred.jasmin are set to 600 and it’s located under the work directory. I have permission for hpxfer and I can ssh onto the JASMIN servers fine from ARCHER2.

Please could someone help me to get the model to archive properly?

Many thanks,
Megan

on ARCHER2 please run the following & post the output here

openssl x509 -in cred.jasmin -noout -startdate -enddate

Hi Grenville,

Here’s the output:

try on ARCHER - (post the result)

module load gct
globus-url-copy -vb -cd -r -cc 4 -sync -sync-level 3 -cred /work/n02/n02/m_brown2/cred.jasmin /work/n02/n02/m_brown2/archive/u-de764/19820101T0000Z/ gsiftp://gridftp1.jasmin.ac.uk/gws/nopw/j04/hecter/m_brown/ARCHER_archive/u-de764/19820101T0000Z/

then please try moving your .globus directory away & rerun the globus command above

After the first attempt at the command, I get:

And after I’ve moved my .globus directory (located in /home/n02/n02/m_brown2), I get the following:

OK - two more things to try

    • regenerate the credential & try the globus-url-copy again

then we may need to engage JASMIN.

I can ssh in hpxfer1 from puma2, but not from archer2 - the .ssh/config isn’t set up on in my home directory on archer2.

Before I regenerate the credential file, shall I move my .globus directory back to where it was originally or will this be automatically created when I redo the credentials?

No - please let the process gerarate a new one.

I’ve recreated the credential file as well now. Output from openssl x509 -in cred.jasmin -noout -startdate -enddate:

Sorry, forgot to check the globus-url-copy command. The output is:
