Aha - so neither /tmp/cm/cm_boot.py.log nor /mnt/cm/paster.log exist, but the ec2autorun.log showed a reasonable error, I used a setup password beginning with an exclamation mark, which it seems not to like. I realised that I accidentally posted this to the list previously so don't worry about it being here I've killed that particular cluster. When I was trying different configurations, etc I also consistently used the same password format (which I will no longer use now I posted it to a public mail list like a moron).

I assume since ec2autorun is first in the bootstrap setup if it fails then so does everything else. I'll try it with a different password format - and get back to you (I have a meeting just now). But this looks like an issue with the password format to me...and possibly a bug in the script?

Best wishes,

Nick

Hmm - /mnt definitely should not be empty. There's nothing unusual in the log you sent so could you please send me the one from the worker? It's in the same location (/mnt/cm/paster.log)
If it's not there, please track the boot procedure logs as follows and can send those logs:

1. /usr/bin/ec2autorun.log

2. /tmp/cm/cm_boot.py.log

3. /mnt/cm/paster.log

Thanks,

Thanks – I’ve attached the log. I just tried to start a worker and let it go to the first reboot and then copied this log. I logged into the worker and it looks ok (dmesg, etc) the only noticable thing was /mnt is empty (just a lost+found directory) and I was expecting to see an nfs mount for galaxy export or something. But I’m still finding my way round the system. It may also have been the time in the reboot cycle that I was there.

Best wishes,

Nick

Subject: Re: [spam?] [galaxy-dev] Cloudman cluster not starting workers

Hi Nick,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I just tried a couple of scenarios and they all worked as expected (e.g., with and without elastic IPs, different instance types).

The main CloudMan log is located in /mnt/cm/paster.log, on both master and worker instances (if you didn't download the ssh key from cloudlaunch, you can ssh with ubuntu username and the same password as provided on the cloudlaunch form). The log is also available from the UI if you go to Admin page and then click 'Show CloudMan log' under 'System controls'. If you can share that, we can hopefully figure out what's going on.

Best,

Enis

Hi All,

First time post, as a quick intro, I’m have some reasonable experience with EC2 & AWS for developing our own pipelines, I’m comfortable in python and *nix flavours and I am developing a completely custom galaxy in AWS for members of the WTCMP, Glasgow. In the meantime, I have thrown up a quick cloudman galaxy using the cloudstart and the cloudman 2.3 ami (ami-a7dbf6ce) in us-east-1. Auto–scaling didn’t seem to work so I’ve switched it off and added nodes manually, I tried various sizes including ‘same as master’ instances but they just don’t start – in the EC2 console I can see them and see them running. But they’re constantly pending in the /cloud interface and in the log they reboot 4 times and then terminate – apparently not responding "10:16:56 - Instance i-xxxxxx not responding after 4 reboots. Terminating instance".

It’s out of the box, I editted the universe_wsgi.ini… file to disallow user registration and allow me to impersonate users but didn’t change anything else. The only other configuration I’ve done is associate an elastic IP with the master instance so I can have a more static url for a couple of test users (if I need to destroy it and start again, etc).

I’m new to the system so don’t know which logs are best to check…and am I missing something obvious? It there a known bug when using elastic IPs? I’ve googled but with no joy.

Thanks for your help and best wishes,

Nick
