The actual restart files are called:
- gem_restart
- gmm_restart
- Whiteboard.ckpt
There is one set for each processor tile (???-???).
Depending on the state of the simulation they can be in 3 different locations:
1. While the model is running you can find them under:
resp. for YinYang grids:
~/MODEL_EXEC_RUN/${TRUE_HOST}/${GEM_exp}/RUNMOD/work/cfg_0000/YIN/???-???
~/MODEL_EXEC_RUN/${TRUE_HOST}/${GEM_exp}/RUNMOD/work/cfg_0000/YAN/???-???
2. Once the model simulation for a month has finished but the post processing did not run yet they are under:
If you need to copy them back under ~/MODEL_EXEC_RUN/${TRUE_HOST} you need to copy the second blue ${GEM_exp} directory!
3. Once the post processing finished the "archiving of the restarts" they will be in your archive under:
The archived restarts contain the whole directory structure
Depending on the script version you are using they can have different names. Either
${GEM_exp}_step*.ca.gz
Gunzip and unarchive (cmcarc -x -f ...) the restart file(s) in ~/MODEL_EXEC_RUN/$TRUE_HOST
Depending on the grid size there could be more than one file per month. You need to gunzip and unarchive all of them.
The cmcarc-command will create a new directory, but the *.ca file(s) will remain in the directory. You can remove it/them again.
or
${GEM_exp}_step*.tarz
Untar the file like any other compressed tar file. For example with:
tar xzvf ...
