For this instance, you'll need to restart using the old method for launching via the console, specifying the zone 1b. Detection of the zone volumes are in for existing clusters and specifying those for launch is on the short list of things coming up for cloud launch.

Tried it again and same error message. The volume was originally created in us-east-1b and newly created instances are being started in us-east-1a. Shouldn't the availability zone be set to us-east-1b when the instance is requested or that info stored in the properties file in the S3 bucket?

Any suggestions?

Started up a cluster on Amazon using the Launch a Galaxy Cloud Instance and got the following message. Since I don't have any control over where the instances are run not sure how I can control this. The last 4 or 5 times I have started up an existing instance has worked with no problem.

Messages (CRITICAL messages cannot be dismissed.) [CRITICAL] Volume 'vol-f882ca85' is located in the wrong availability zone for this instance. You MUST terminate this instance and start a new one in zone 'us-east-1a'.
