NorESM2.5 on Betzy test login node : problem with missing modules

[TomasTorsvik]

@mvertens , @mvdebolskiy, @monsieuralok
I tried to set up noresm2_5_alpha05 on the test login node login-3.betzy.sigma2.no, but it fails at the SETUP stage. Looks like there is a dependency on "2021b" modules. I tested noresm2.0.8 yesterday on this node, which builds and runs with "2022a" module versions. I have listed a few key modules in the NorESM discussion:

@TomasTorsvik why are you testing with 2021b modules ? or can you post yours env_mach_specific.xml ? probably it seems old file or something else?

[TomasTorsvik]

The build system for noresm2_5_alpha05 is different from the noresm2-based build systems. I thought it would be possible to use the same modules, but this is apparently not the case.

[mvdebolskiy]

@TomasTorsvik you have used intel instead of intel-oneapi.
That latter uses 2022a toolchains. However, there are other problems with it, since the modules were built on top of the ones installed by sigma2 but those are not yet on login3.

[TomasTorsvik]

Have you contacted Sigma2/NRIS about the missing modules? I have been in touch with them recently about missing 2022a tool-chains, which they have now ported to login3.

[mvdebolskiy]

No, not yet. I am trying to build them myself.

[mvertens]

@TomasTorsvik @mvdebolskiy - thanks so much for helping sort this out. I'm happy to help give this a try as well once the right modules are on login3.

[TomasTorsvik]

I think this issue is obsolete. I will cloese it.
