This section shows how to configure and run OpenIFS and XIOS together.

Run OpenIFS with XIOS enabled

- arguments to use for oifs_run

- namelist switch to enable

- XML files, how to modify (will need Xavier's help with this)

- netcdf output: how to combine with multiple tasks

- enabling regular lat-lon grid output (and the implications)

First of all, it is necessary that OpenIFS is compiled with XIOS (see OpenIFS: Enable XIOS during compilation) and the XIOS executable is available in the experiment directory. OpenIFS should be run as usual (see 6.3 OpenIFS Running a Forecast), but adding the argument '--xios' to oifs_run. This will use by default 1 XIOS server, but in case of needing more servers, it can be done with '--xios --xios-nproc <arg>'.

It is also necessary to enable the LXIOS switch in the NAMCT0 namelist (fort.4 file)TO BE DONE : could split the configuration and runtime setup into separate pages.

Please note: as XIOS is not used operationally at ECMWF, we can only provide help on a best effort basis. We encourage users to post questions on XIOS to the OIFSUF to get help from other users in the OpenIFS community.
