I installed WRFV4.3 successfully using the following modules and settings:
module purge
module load intel/2020.2
module load impi/2020.2
module load pnetcdf/1.11.2
module load netcdf/4.6.1
module load hdf5/1.10.6
setenv WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT 1.

Yet I ran into a problem when running real.exe. The error says "REAL: error opening wrfinput for writing". I did some web searching and learned that the most common reason for this error is that the model was not built with large file support. This is not my case. I can ran WRFV4.2 with the same namelist.input and met*.nc files. Please see attached for the namelist.input, met*.nc file, and rsl files. Hope I can get help here on how to solve this problem.
Thanks.

Hi chenhua,
I am sorry to answer so late. Somehow this post was skipped and we are not aware it was never addressed.
Please let me know whether you ahem solved this issue. If not, let's try the opitons below:
(1) set max_dom =1 and let me know whether you get the same error message.
(2) If max_dm =1 works, then let's try to set
max_dom = 2
specified = .true., .false.,
(3) Please set
io_form_history=2
io_form_restart=2
io_form_input=2
io_form_boundary=2
I am suspicious that the io_form = 11 might cause the issue you have, but I am not 100% sure.
Please keep me updated about this case. Thanks.
Ming
