I cannot save monthly restarts

[joanballester_ic3@gmail_com]

Hi all,I am trying to run a long simulation (100yr) in 2000_CAM5_CLM40%SP_CICE_POP2_RTM_SGLC_SWAV configuration and 1.9x2.5_gx1v6 resolution. The key point of this simulation is to save the restart files every month, and not only at the end of the run. I have tried two things: CASE 1: to resubmit the simulation:./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_OPTION -val nmonths
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_N -val 1
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id REST_OPTION -val nmonths
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id REST_N -val 1
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id DOUT_S_SAVE_INT_REST_FILES -val TRUE
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id RESUBMIT -val 1199

 CASE 2: to perform a single simulation:./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_OPTION -val nmonths
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id STOP_N -val 2
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id REST_OPTION -val nmonths
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id REST_N -val 1
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id DOUT_S_SAVE_INT_REST_FILES -val TRUE
./xmlchange -file env_run.xml -id RESUBMIT -val 0

In case 1, the simulation runs for 1 month, but it is not resubmitted, and so I only have the 0001-02-01-00000/ subfolder in the restart folder.In case 2, the simulation successfully runs for 2 months, but the restart files are only saved at the end of run, and so I only have the 0001-03-01-00000/ subfolder in the restart folder.I attach the env_run.xml files for both cases. Am I doing something wrong?Thank you so much.Joan Ballester

The CONTINUE_RUN XML variable must be set to TRUE in order for the RESUBMIT option to work. Please try settingCONTINUE_RUN=TRUE in the case1 env_run.xml and see if this fixes the problem.

It's in the location that restarts are stored.   Only restarts produced at the end of the run are in the directory rest/0001-02-01-00000/but they are also in directories COMP/rest/   for each component along with the intermitent restart files that you saved.

What did you mean by directories COMP/rest/? I only know two locations with restart files: /glade/scratch/username/archive/casename/rest/ and /glade/scratch/username/casename/run. Where are the other locations for restart files?

Here are all of the restart paths for a case named foo:Interum restart files always go to the component rest directories such as atm/rest below...
/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/atm/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/lnd/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/rof/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/ice/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/ocn/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/glc/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/wav/rest/glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/dart/rest /glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/cpl/rest

I see what you mean! The monthly restart files were saved in ~foo/COMP/rest instead of ~/foo/rest. What is the differece of the restart files between /glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/rest and /glade/scratch/jedwards/archive/foo/COMP/rest? I normally copy the entire restart file folder udner ~/foo/rest into my new case and continue running it. In this case how shall manage the restart files in different component directories?
