UM suite failing to submit in Puma2-Archer2

Unified Model

Hi,

I was trying to run a UM12.0 suite after a gap of some two months in Puma2 - Archer2. Initially I had to follow the instructions in Restarting after puma2 reboot

But after that I am getting error “submit-failed”.

I have been trying to run the suite: u-cq224_TestToday2. The suite used to run successfully till March this year.

I believe my project access to Archer2 is valid until July this year.

Please can you advice me what is going wrong.

Thanks,

Timmy

Hi Timmy,

All NERC HPC allocations reset at the end of March. Was a request for continued HPC resource put in? I see you are using the budget code e721-guest. It’s not a normal n02 budget. I’m assuming it’s somehow attached to an n02 budget - do you know which? Grenville, has retired and I’m not sure of the history to how this budget code was setup.

Ah OK - I think I vaguely remember - this is TOZCA? e721-guest is a guest budget, which allows your n02 user account access to resources under the e721 budget.

Can you ask the manager of the e721-guest budget to check that there are available resources in this budget code please?

Hi Rosalyn,

Thank you for your kind reply. Yes this is TOZCA budget allocation.

I notice that in e721-guest it is showing 0.0 CUs when I login to SAFE - but I am aware that there is more budget in e721 which can be moved to e721-guest from the manager’s end, which I will request him tomorrow. But my concern is if the budget that was already available in e721-guest somehow got reset to 0.0 CUs during the NERC HPC allocations reset at the end of March? Because I was under the impression that there were some CUs left in February end, when I last performed the UM runs from e721-guest. Please can you check this also.

Thanks,

Timmy

Hi Timmy,

e721-guest won’t have been zero’d as a result of the NERC HPC allocations reset. I’m afraid I have no idea on what cycle period e721 allocations get reset - maybe they are also March end?? Or even April?? The e721 manager will be able to tell you what has happened.

Cheers,
Ros
