I'm using Galaxy on a ROCKS cluster. I installed Galaxy on the headnode. I'm using PBS instead of SGE though. It shouldn't make a difference.
I haven't thought about deploying Galaxy as a Roll if that's what you are referring to. Only because Galaxy doesn't need to run on all the nodes, it only needs a web server. You could make a roll and deploy it on the head node only, but that just seems to be more work than necessary. Its not be a bad idea if the roll is pre-configured and includes all the production tweaks...would have saved me 2-3 weeks of work, potentially. But now that its installed, I'm not going to go back and build a roll out of it.

Hi guys,
Is there anyone has actually setup galaxy on a Rocks based cluster?
I know that galaxy should be hosted on a submission host so that it can submit jobs to the cluster.
Rocks provides preconfigured DRM such as SGE, so I start thinking if galaxy host should be deployed and managed by Rocks (e.g. as a Login Appliance in Rocks' term).
Sorry if this is not a pure galaxy issue, but I guess people in here will be more appropriate to answer this.
