Hi
Our project has been offered allocation on CIRRUS and that users can begin the transition, just wondering if there any suites have been ported yet to use as an example or this is something we should hold off? With the change over to git I don’t even know where to look for new FCM configs or suite site files anymore to see if stuff exists yet! Possibly its a case of just telling me to wait a couple months.
Hi Helen,
Yup. It is indeed a case waiting I’m afraid. 
We are currently waiting for the n02 project to be setup on Cirrus. Once we have access we can then begin the central install of the UM, setup of associated infrastructure and start porting suites.
We will send out an announcement to users once we have a better idea of timescales, etc.
Cheers,
Ros.
Hi Ros,
No worries I know its a big job getting all the infrastructure sorted!
Thanks for the update, we’ll not rush to get access on CIRRUS for now then.
Cheers
Helen
Hi Rosalyn
Continuing within this thread: Couple of questions regarding running UM on Cirrus.
Which version of the MetUM is being ported onto Cirrus?
Would it be possible to run our existing suites straightaway onto the new machine?
Is there a timeline to begin running MetUM jobs on Cirrus?
Thanks.
Best Wishes
Sid
Hi Sid,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Initially we will focus on versions 13.5-13.9, 14.x. A few other older key UM versions will also be installed where there is an identified need; e.g. CMIP6.
You can apply for an account on Cirrus (if your project has been awarded time) and transfer over essential data, but you will not yet be able to run UM workflows. We are currently working to get everything in place in time for the ARCHER2 switch off. We will make an announcement when the UM is ready on Cirrus. Existing suites will need updating before you will be able to run them on Cirrus. We will provide instructions on how to do this.
For further details please see the announcement on our website: Access to Cirrus
Cheers,
Ros
