Validate your XML machine file with the following commands:

[name@server ~]$ xmllint --noout --schema $EBROOTCESM/cime/config/xml_schemas/config_machines.xsd ~/.cime/config_machines.xml
/home/name/.cime/config_machines.xml validates

[name@beluga ~]$ query_config --machines current
beluga (current) : https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Béluga/en
      os              LINUX
      compilers       intel,gnu
      pes/node        40
      max_tasks/node  40

Check the official template for additional parameters:

[name@server ~]$ less $EBROOTCESM/cime/config/xml_schemas/config_machines_template.xml

Local batch file

Create and edit the file ~/.cime/config_batch.xml from the following minimal content:

File : ~/.cime/config_batch.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config_batch version="2.1">
  <batch_system type="slurm">
    <batch_submit>sbatch</batch_submit>
    <submit_args>
      <arg flag="--time" name="$JOB_WALLCLOCK_TIME"/>
      <arg flag="--account" name="$PROJECT"/>
    </submit_args>
    <directives>
      <directive>--mem=0</directive>
    </directives>
    <queues>
      <queue default="true">default</queue>
    </queues>
  </batch_system>
</config_batch>

Validate your XML machine file with the following commands:

[name@server ~]$ xmllint --noout --schema $EBROOTCESM/cime/config/xml_schemas/config_batch.xsd ~/.cime/config_batch.xml
/home/name/.cime/config_batch.xml validates

Check the documentation for additional configuration parameters and examples.

Creating a test case

The following command assumes the default model cesm and the current machine:

[name@server ~]$ create_newcase --case test_case --compset IHistClm50Bgc --res f19_g17
