You don't need a new AMI copy if you decide to upgrade starcluster there. </div><div><br></div><div>I believe you can control such things from the configuration file. Yet I did not try it so correct me if I am wrong. </div><div><br></div><div>I hope this helps you decide better. </div><div><br></div><div> Jacob</div><div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Oct 16, 2013, at 7:50 PM, Lyn Gerner <<a href="mailto:schedulerqueen@gmail.com">schedulerqueen@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Thanks, Rayson and Jacob.<div><br></div><div style="">I already have an AMI I'm developing for the back end (SGE) nodes; was hoping to not have to do another one (under a crunched schedule at this point).</div>
