ERROR: RUN FAIL: mpiexec_mpt invalid option p

Hello,

I am working with the FKESSLER test case in Cheyenne, and something strange is happening to me. When I copy the cesm2_1 folder from $CESMROOT, configure, build and try to submit this test case, I get the following error in the log file of the job

ERROR: RUN FAIL: Command 'mpiexec_mpt -np 36 -p "%g:"
mpiexec_mpt invalid option p

However, when I work with the CESM2 directory that I downloaded using the git repository, I don't have any problems and the model runs. Does someone know what this is about? I am troubleshooting this for a class, so I would like to have the instructions clearly stated, and to be sure where should the students get CESM. The original idea was for the students to copy directly from $CESMROOT.

Thanks,
Héctor

The proper way to do this is with a download from the git repository. We are trying to discourage local copies of the model for community use because of problems like the one you have encountered.

Got it! This makes sense! Thank you very much for your response! I'll update the course instructions to git downloading of the model.

Best regards
