<div>Dear All,</div><div><br></div>This is to report the said failure of "createvolume" in the eu-west zone.<div><br></div><div>Per the starcluster documentation, I have set environment variable and configuration file as follows:</div>

# - The base i386 StarCluster AMI is ami-a4d7fdd0</div><div># - The base x86_64 StarCluster AMI is ami-38d5ff4c</div><div>NODE_IMAGE_ID = ami-a4d7fdd0</div><div>NODE_INSTANCE_TYPE = m1.small</div><div>...</div><div>============================================= </div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Because the default AMIs suggested in the template (i.e., "ami-d1c42db8" and "ami-a5c42dcc") are not available in the eu-west region, I changed it to one available (based on "listpublic" command). Then, I got the following error when trying to create a volume:</div>

<div><br></div><div>It seems that the setting of NODE_IMAGE_ID has no impact on the AMI used for volume creation.</div><div><br></div><div>With Regards,</div><div>Joseph<br clear="all">--<br>Kyeong Soo (Joseph) Kim, Ph.D.<br>
