Yes I already did that at the beginning. So my same persistent session is up and running.
I already got that heads up from @Paul.Gregory through 21st Century Weather.

OK. Yes well done for following @Paul.Gregory’s heads up.
Have you tried running the suite before? I would perhaps go in and do a `rose suite-clean`.

@Moulik see [Qsub: cannot connect to server - #3 by Scott](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/qsub-cannot-connect-to-server/6376/3)
Your problem might be related.

Thanks!
Yes I did try. But today itself I first clean the suite and then re-run.

Okay, then I will wait and watch. Thanks @cbengel

But just FYI, on that same RAS GUI there were other tasks as well (e.g., ANCIL\_ANTS), and those were run successfully through Gadi PBS job submission.

Given the timing and what is going on it is likely to be a Gadi’ type issue. Otherwise, to get feedback on that specific problem you would need to post the contents of the file that `can’t be found`
It might be an intermittent problem. I would wait and try again. If the problem persists then reach out tomorrow.

Hi @cbengel
This time I got this error when trying to run the RAS suite (install\_ugants task):

Hi Moulik.
Have you been able to run any of the rose/cylc tutorial suites?
e.g [Introduction to Rose/Cylc — 21st Century Weather Software Wiki](https://21centuryweather.github.io/21st-Century-Weather-Software-Wiki/rose-cylc/rose-cylc-intro.html)
or
> **[The Unified Model — 21st Century Weather Software Wiki](https://21centuryweather.github.io/21st-Century-Weather-Software-Wiki/UM/UM-intro.html)**
If not. Can you please try and run those suites and check the perform as expected? This is just to rule out any underlying environment issues you might have.
Can you also confirm you’ve followed all the steps here?

Hi @Paul.Gregory thanks for sharing those. No, I didn’t go through these, sorry! I started from the model set-up directly as mentioned in the ACCESS website. I will go through those and get back to here. Thanks again.

This indicates a storage flag issue. Check where your cylc run is putting its files with
```bash
readlink -f /home/581/mm6452/cylc-run/u-bu503/share
```
Make sure whichever disk this points to (e.g. `/scratch/ab12`) is in the PBS storage flags (you can set the storage flags in `rose-suite.conf` using e.g. `NCI_STORAGE=scratch/ab12+gdata/de34` or add them in `site/nci-gadi/flow-adds.cylc`)

Thanks @Scott great idea. Got me wondering – @Moulik are you trying to run ACCESS-rAM3 from not your default project? If so, it doesn’t work. Please reach out and we will tell you how to change your default project.

Hi @Scott thanks! May be that’s the fault - I will check and get back to here.
Re @cbengel - I believe I am running from my default project. As I am starting my VDI session with if69 - so it would be my default project, isn’t it? But could you please let me know how can I check which my default project is that my suites are taking?

@Moulik There is a better way but I can’t remember the command. You can run `env | grep PROJECT`
The reason why I asked the question before is that /scratch/$PROJECT is added into the suite by default and that is where the data should be written out. Anyway, please follow @Scott 's advice.

Default project is set in `~/.config/gadi-login.conf`

FYI, this is how my rose-suite.conf looks like:
Just a quick question - do I need to add gdata/hr22 as well in the NCI\_STORAGE?

Everything the workflow needs apart from your input data/working project should already be getting added in the site file

Okay! So that’s not a problem then.
