Detailed Description

Generates an archive file from HWRF COM directory outputs.

This archive file can be on disk, or on the HPSS archiving system (via the htar command).

How this is done depends on the [config] section archive option, in the HWRF configuration files:

archive=none — no archiving is done. This script will exit immediately without doing anything.
archive=disk:/path/to/archive.tar.gz — make a gzipped tar file via the tar -czf command, and place it on disk in a long-term storage area
archive=hpss:/path/to/archive.tar — use the "htar" command to place an archive on tape.
archive=hpsz:/path/to/archive.tar.gz — a two-step process. The first step uses tar -czf to create an on-disk archive in a staging area. The second step copies that archive to tape using "hsi put"

Function Documentation

def scripts.exhwrf_para_archive.main_disk ( )

Main program for disk archiving.

Creates an on-disk archiving for one of two cases:

disk:/path/to/archive.tar.gz — generates an on-disk *.tar.gz archive in a long-term storage disk area
hpsz:/path/to/tape-archive.tar.gz — generates an on-disk *.tar.gz archive in a temporary location so it can be copied to tape in a later step.

def scripts.exhwrf_para_archive.main_tape ( )

Main program for tape archiving.

Does one of two things:

hpss:/path/to/archive.tar — will use the htar command to archive COM directory outputs
hpsz:/path/to/archive.tar.gz — will copy a tar.gz file from a temporary area, made by the disk archiving step, to a tape destination using the "hsi put" command.
