Hostfile or pool must be used........Help!!!

Hello,

I was just starting to use CAM3. After configuring and running the test case in the user guide (p20), I have this error message in the output.txt:
ERROR: 0031-808 Hostfile or pool must be used to request nodes.

It seems a problem of the settings of my work station, but I don't know where or how to correct it. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you.
(PS. I am using the NCAR workstation)

It would be great if you could provide more inf as to what your model configuration you are using including.
1. What machine are you using (is it one of the NCAR supercomputers?)
2. Could you include more from the output file prior to the point at which the model crashes


Actually having a quick look again it seems that the error is in submitting your job to job schedular on the particular computer you are using.
You need to include the correct loadleveler (if using bluesky) of LSF (if using bluevista) commands to submit and run the job properly. If you include the commands you are using to submit your model run to the computer in your reply then I should be able to help you
 
I have the same problem.

I am using bluefire.

I am running cam3.5.32 checked out from the repository and not modified, compiled using the testing procedure as described in section 3.2.1 of CAM3.0 user guide http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam/docs/usersguide/usersguide.pdf.
Everything went as described in user guide except for the command
> % $camcfg/build-namelist -test
which does not produce a "namelist" file but it produces the following
> -rw-r--r-- 1 drosa univ 205 Apr 08 20:11 ocn_in
> -rw-r--r-- 1 drosa univ 439 Apr 08 20:11 lnd_in
> -rw-r--r-- 1 drosa univ 206 Apr 08 20:11 ice_in
> -rw-r--r-- 1 drosa univ 222 Apr 08 20:11 drv_in
> -rw-r--r-- 1 drosa univ 525 Apr 08 20:11 atm_in

Then trying to run cam i get:

be1105en% ./cam
ERROR: 0031-808 Hostfile or pool must be used to request nodes
be1105en%

Any clue?
Thanks
