  • Validate your XML machine file with the following commands:
    [name@server ~]$ module load cesm/2.1.3 && xmllint --noout --schema $EBROOTCESM/cime/config/xml_schemas/config_machines.xsd ~/.cime/config_machines.xml
    /home/username/.cime/config_machines.xml validates
    
  • Check the official template for additional parameters:
    [name@server ~]$ less $EBROOTCESM/cime/config/xml_schemas/config_machines_template.xml
