Hi, Thanks for answers , Actually i tried to understand cloudman role in galaxy , do you have an architecture paper which i should read ? for e.g. what i unserstood si that cloud man runs a python server and manage SGE through it via some python script . (may be i am wrong) Our proposed installation is like this: Users launch cloud man from Open nebula cloud, when cloudman is running they can add more nodes which are endup in same private cloud. As you suggested in this particular case I should have same images both for (master cloudman) and workers , am i right ? actually i built one image via https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/cloudman . DO you suggest that I should built image from CBL tree you mentioned below ? which wd have both cloudman and galaxy together. BR Zeeshan On W6-Feb 8, 2013, at 10:21 PM, Enis Afgan wrote:
As far as actually building the image, the recommended method is to use CloudBioLinux build scripts: https://github.com/chapmanb/cloudbiolinux There is a CloudMan flavor of CBL that allows you to build only CloudMan- and Galaxy-required parts: https://github.com/chapmanb/cloudbiolinux/tree/master/contrib/flavor/cloudma...

Cloudman handles managing NFS for you and sharing the galaxy/tools/index/data volumes. In order for workers to communicate with the master instance, they'll need the cloudman installation as well, so you should use the same image.
Now that I've answered that, I'm not sure I totally understand your proposed installation yet, but if you're suggesting bypassing cloudman for installation on a private cloud it should be possible. You'd want the master instance up full time running as the galaxy front end, dispatching jobs to a separate cluster managed by SGE/PBS/whatever. Basically the standard cluster configuration outlined in the wiki above, but you'd want your worker nodes automatically configured to mount the shared directories and join the PBS/SGE queue so they could handle jobs.
Depending on what type of private cloud you're working with, it might be easier to just see if you can get cloudman to work :)
Lastly, I swapped this message to galaxy-dev since it's about installation nuts and bolts.

Dear Enis, thanks for reply and being you as cloudman developer it is good to see you in the list .
Q2: On Workers node we need galaxy installed with its shared directories ? like galaxyindices , galaxydata Q3: For a private cloud setup do you prefare to have a master image with cloudman and galaxy and use the same image for workers as well ? or worker images can be vanilla OS ?

Hi Zeeshan, In order to gain from the scalability of the cloud, SGE does need to run. However, CloudMan sets all that up and manages it going forward.

It seems that cloud man need SGE for scaling . Does SGE need also when run cloud on private cloud ?
