Hi Justin,<br><br>Thanks for the reply. I think I figured out the problem - I tried "starcluster -x start mycluster" immediately after stopping it. After a bit of waiting (until the status of instances become stopped), "mycluster" can be started without problem.<br>
<br>One more question: If I would like to create a customized ami image based on an existing EBS image, how can I enable the new ami image to be with EBS attribute as well ?<br><br>Thanks,<br>-Liang<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Liang,<br>
<br>
What is the error you're getting when you run "starcluster start -x" on<br>
the same cluster?<br>
