Unable to submit job from Puma to archer: return code 255

[scottyiu]

I am trying to submit jobs from puma to archer. However, I am faced with the message:

MAIN_SCR: Calling Extract …
Extracting UMSCRIPTS including any branches…
UMSCRIPTS extract failed
See extract output file /home/scottyiu/um/um_extracts/xlchu/umscripts/ext.out
MAIN_SCR: Extract failed
MAIN_SCR stopped with return code 255

The ext.out file ends with:

Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).^{M
# Time taken: 0 s⇒ ssh -n -oBatchMode=yes login.archer.ac.uk mkdir -p /home/n02/n02/scottyiu/um/xlchu/umscripts/cfg

I have redid the ssh keys for puma already but there is no difference.

Thank you.

I just wanted to add that I am able to ssh into archer from puma using only the puma passphase.

Hi Scott,

You need to be able to ssh from PUMA to ARCHER without a prompt for password or passphrase. It looks like you need to run ssh-add to attach your ssh-key to your ssh-agent. If you get the message Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. please follow the instructions in the FAQ: http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/FAQ_T4_F5

Regards,
Ros.
