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.

Regards,
Derrick
