[Users] Issues configuring SimFactory for PBS cluster (Hubble) - Jobs failing to submit correctly

[Beyhan Karakaş]

Hello Taiki,

You are modifying a generic machine file and using it with pbs-normal
submission file. Submission and running the simulation are done by
different files and currently you use generic config and runscript
(generic.cfg, generic.run). I would suggest you to use consistent
simfactory files, lets say modify the files for crux (crux.ini, .cfg, .sub,
.run) to work with your cluster. After having consistent files add
"--machine hubble" option when you submit the job (./simfactory/bin/sim
submit ... --machine hubble).  Also have a look at the all supported
clusters that use PBS on simfactory/mdb/submitscripts.

Best regards,

Beyhan.

I am trying to configure SimFactory to submit jobs using PBS on a machine
