iCESM 1.2 on Cheyenne - error at cesm_setup step

[AndreaMoore]

Hello,

I am trying to run an iCESM experiment on Cheyenne using the following parameters:
create_newcase -case ~/cases/test_case -res f19_g16 -compset B1850 -mach cheyenne

I have followed the instructions listed here and in this thread, but am getting the following errors at the cesm_setup step:

andreamo@cheyenne1:~/cases/test_case> ./cesm_setup

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I seem to have solved my own issue. It looks like the compset I chose for my initial test run (B1850) uses CAM4, and I specified CAM5 in my env_build.xml file, which may have caused a conflict. I've switched to B1850C5CN, and everything seems to be running smoothly.

I have a new problem with a new test case I've started using one of @jiangzhu 's iCESM Holocene time slice restart files (b.e12.B1850C5.f19_g16.i09ka.01):

If I'm reading the error output correctly, this seems to be an issue with RTM namelist creation.
From env_run.xml:

<!--"RTM build-namelist options (char) " →
<entry id="RTM_BLDNML_OPTS"   value="-simyr 1850"  />
<!--"RTM specific namelist settings (char) " →
<entry id="RTM_NAMELIST_OPTS"   value=""  />

Should there be a different value specified for RTM_BLDNML_OPTS or RTM_NAMELIST_OPTS? Any help is appreciated.

It looks like there is a bug in the rtm.buildnml.csh script related to branch runs. I followed the steps in this post and the setup was able to complete.
