This is specifically to galaxy administrators and developers who have worked with galaxy and cluster deployment.
If you have successfully deployed a galaxy instance backed by one (or more) clusters, I'm looking to hear about your experience;
- - the configuration - - any pitfalls encountered - - any extra tools that needed to be installed - - any ugly hacks you had to implement
The current cluster documentation is somewhat lacking, and I'm willing to compile everyone's experiences deploying to clusters if you're willing to send them in. I'll update the cluster page on the wiki as I receive replies and can allocate time.
By way of example, here's the summary of what I would reply to this email with my experiences deploying to an HTCondor cluster
- - HTcondor ran fine, accepted jobs and worked for all users - - Connecting galaxy to it would result in some jobs running/some jobs failing. It was determined that those jobs which ran, were only on localhost. - - This was a result of the fact that galaxy's home directory/data was not exported - - Galaxy was made an LDAP user and a folder created in the correct location on all computers - - This still failed, as galaxy does not transfer files by default (as far as I can tell), even though that's available in HTCondor - - Finally galaxy's home directory was NFS exported and things seemed to work.
Cheers, Eric
