"Initial Cluster Configuration" pop-up window missing with CloudBioLinux - Cloudman

[agbiotec]

I was playing around with starting a Cloudman cluster from within the CloudBioLinux

AMIs, using Brad's tutorial as an example:

 http://bcbio.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/distributed-exome-analysis-pipeline-with-cloudbiolinux-and-cloudman/

While the cluster works great (I can login to the cloud web interface, start / stop nodes etc),

it seems that right after login I don't get the pop-up window for the "Initial Cluster Configuration",

where I can specify the volume to be  to mounted with the exome data (cm-b53c6... shown 

in Brad's 2nd demo video).

I am using the latest AMI (ami-ad8e4ec4). Is there something missing ?  

Overall is there an easy way to mount EBS volumes with data to the Cloudman cluster (you

can simply point me to RTFM on this->link).

  cheers,

It sounds like you've already loaded a CloudMan cluster with this name
previously. It uses the 'cluster_name' in the user-data to persist the
same cluster. You can either delete all of the cluster info (Terminate
with removing all data), or start up a new cluster with a new name to
start fresh and load the exome data from the shared cluster.

Also, I'm going to roll out a new tutorial, new shared cluster, new
CloudBioLinux AMIs, and other awesome stuff tonight, so if you're
playing with it you may want to wait until tomorrow. I need to finish
all the final touches tonight after work and will send more info to the list.

a-w-e-s-o-m-e, looking fwd to the new tutorial. BTW, will the data pulled by this script

https://github.com/chapmanb/cloudbiolinux/blob/master/data_fabfile.py

be visible to the Cloudman cluster ?

Yes, absolutely. That's how the data files are download and prepared for
the demo. You need to edit your fabricrc.txt to point at the locations
for storing the downloaded files (somewhere in /export/data that you
like) and the custom Galaxy instance. It downloads everything and
*.loc files so they are available within Galaxy.
