Real produces wrfinput but not wrfbdy

[icastorm]

Hello,

As the title indicates, I am not getting the wrfbdy file when I run real.exe, which is obviously an issue. I am getting no errors anywhere along the process starting from geogrid as far as I can tell, besides the following when I run real on a single core:

srun: error: PMK_KVS_Barrier duplicate request from task 0

I have attached my rsl.xxx.0000 files and the input namelists, along with the script that describes the process.

More information:
WRF version: 4.4.1
Modules:
gcc/10.1.0
openmpi/4.0.4
netcdf-c/4.7.3-mpi
netcdf-fortran/4.5.2-mpi
hdf5/1.10.6-mpi
Boundary conditions are forced by GEFS forecasts
When I run real with multiple cores (mpirun), real finishes without error, but only outputs the wrfinput file.

Any help figuring out what is going wrong would be appreciated!

Your namelist.input shows the time period as follows;

start_year = 2023, 2023, 2023,


start_month = 07, 07, 07,


start_day = 01, 01, 01,


start_hour = 00, 00, 00,


start_minute = 00, 00, 00,


start_second = 00, 00, 00,


end_year = 2023, 2023, 2023,


end_month = 07, 07, 07,


end_day = 30, 30, 30,


end_hour = 23, 23, 23,


end_minute = 00, 00, 00,


end_second = 00, 00, 00,


interval_seconds = 3600

Your RSL file indicates that REAL.EXE is done successfully over a single time as shown below:

I am perplexed by this case ....

A bit of an update here in the hopes that someone will be able to help me solve this problem:

I have tried running real.exe in environments and on cases that have produced the wrfbdy file before, and have found that they all fail to produce it now. My hunch is that something in our supercomputing environment has changed. I will be in contact with the help desk about that while I test a few other cases.

One more update, which should've been posted very soon after my previous update: Issue has been fixed. Through a series of (somewhat embarrassing) blunders, I realized that I had both run time set to 0 and the same start time and end time in the namelist. In turn, real (correctly) surmised that I wouldn't need boundary conditions and only generated the input file. There was no error here but my own!

Thanks for the update. I am glad the issue is solved.
