[StarCluster] newbie problems

[Rayson Ho]

You are attaching an external EBS volume that is in us-east-1c, so you
can't have your instances in us-east-1a.

If you are not sure which zone your EBS vol is in, log onto the AWS
Management Console, and go to Elastic Block Store -> Volumes. Then
click on the volume you want to attach to the cluster, and zone will
be displayed together with other information related to the volume.


Also, see: http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/

 "Amazon EBS volumes are placed in a specific Availability Zone, and
can then be attached to instances also in that same Availability
Zone."
