Hi Rayson,<div><br></div><div>thanks for your fast reply. So what I missed is that you have to declare the 'image-id' of the instance host if you are creating a volume for a datacenter other than us-east. </div><div>
<br></div><div>So for me doing</div><div><br></div><div>$ starcluster listpublic</div><div><div><br></div><div>>>> Listing all public StarCluster images...</div><div><br></div><div>32bit Images:</div><div>-------------</div>
<div>[0] ami-a5447bd1 eu-west-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-11.10-x86 (EBS)</div><div>[1] ami-a4d7fdd0 eu-west-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-9.10-x86-rc8</div><div><br></div><div>64bit Images:</div><div>--------------</div><div>
[0] ami-ab447bdf eu-west-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-11.10-x86_64 (EBS)</div>
<div>[1] ami-38d5ff4c eu-west-1 starcluster-base-ubuntu-9.10-x86_64-rc4</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>and then</div><div><br></div><div>$ starcluster createvolume --name=paulsvol --image-id=ami-a4d7fdd0 40 eu-west-1c</div>
<div><br></div><div>(note the selected image-id) worked. Sorry but the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/stardev/cluster/docs/latest/manual/volumes.html">docs</a> didn't say that you have to declare the image-id, that's why I was confused. </div>
