Autosubmit

Permissions

All experiments should be created in the Autosubmit Virtual Machine (see section autosubmit_vm`).

To access the VM, you need a user and your SSH key to be authorized. Add your name, e-mail, preferred username, and SSH (local) public key to the Autosubmit VM Users table.

Follow the instructions here to configure setup according to institution affiliation.

If you have connection errors, check the following:

Ensure that your .bashrc is clean, doesn’t export variables or load modules that may interfere with the Autosubmit environment, and doesn’t contain any aliases that could cause issues.
Make sure that there is a directory created under your project’s scratch with your username.
Make sure that the password-less connection from the Autosubmit VM to the HPC system is working. You can test this by running a simple command like ssh <your_username>@<hpc_system> hostname from the Autosubmit VM terminal.

Installation

Autosubmit is installed on the Autosubmit VM, and you can access it via the command line. Make sure you have a recent Autosubmit version running with the command

$ autosubmit --version

User Configurations

Once you have access to the Autosubmit VM, connect to it and add your user configurations to the file ~/platforms.yml. Make sure that the username for each platform matches your username for that institution as they could differ:

# Personal platforms file
# this overrides keys the default platforms.yml

Platforms:
    lumi-login:
        USER: <LUMI USER>
    lumi:
        USER: <LUMI USER>
    lumi-transfer:
        USER: <LUMI USER>
    marenostrum5:
        USER: <BSC USER>
    marenostrum5-login:
        USER: <BSC USER>
