Cheyenne update module issues for all CESM versions

[jedwards]

Due to the cheyenne maintenance this week you need to update some modules:intel/17.0.1pnetcdf/1.11.0netcdf/4.6.1netcdf-mpi/4.6.1mpt/2.19 There is also an issue with the -p option to mpiexec_mpt, you may either reverse the order of -p and -np in env_mach_specific.xml or remove the -p option.  If you are using gnu or pgi compilers instead of intel you will need similar updates, I will update this page when those are determined.

More details on what you need to do:To update an older version of cime for the sake of new cases, make the changes shown in the attachment, 'cheyenne_update.patch_.txt'. (You can apply these changes manually or by running 'git apply FILENAME' while in the cime directory.)For existing cases, you can put the attached 'env_mach_specific.xml' file in your case, replacing any existing env_mach_specific.xml file in that case (you should first copy the old one to some place safe in case something goes wrong).Then run:

./case.setup --reset
./case.build --clean
./case.buildSome people have found that you need to logout and log back in, e.g., if you had been doing anything with a case with an old env_mach_specific.xml in your login.

I just got these instructions from Jim Edwards to update a case created with 'release-cesm2.0.1'. It worked fine and I thought I would share here.

All that you need to do is edit file env_mach_specific.xml in your case and change:
<arguments>
<arg name="anum_tasks"> -np {{ total_tasks }}</arg>
<arg name="labelstdout">-p "%g:"</arg>
<arg name="zthreadplacement"> omplace -tm open64 </arg>
</arguments>

to be:
<arguments>
<arg name="labelstdout">-p "%g:"</arg>
<arg name="num_tasks"> -np {{ total_tasks }}</arg>
<arg name="zthreadplacement"> omplace -tm open64 </arg>
</arguments>
