<div>Hi, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does starcluster have a quick start how to use EBS to create/backup the images ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I installed starcluster 0.93. After some simple changes following this link <a href="http://web.mit.edu/stardev/cluster/docs/latest/quickstart.html">http://web.mit.edu/stardev/cluster/docs/latest/quickstart.html</a>, I'm able to start and stop a cluster. But I got error when "starcluster start -x " the same cluster.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can someone give me a pointer ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>-Liang</div>

<br><br>Can you check the image and see if it is EBS-based or S3-based??<br><br><br>Rayson<br><br>=================================<br>Grid Engine / Open Grid Scheduler<br><a href="http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net</a><br>
