Hi Greg, This sounds like the availability zone issue. I am assuming you are restarting the same cluster (i.e., using the same name) and the instance that gets created may be created in a zone different from the one that the volume from the previous instantiation of the cluster was in. biocloudcentral does not know which zone your cluster was created in previously so it cannot request an instance in that zone. Obviously, this is a limitation of service and, thus far, we are mostly recommending it be used to start a cluster only the very first time. After the cluster creation, we recommend using the AWS console (which is easier to get going now because all the security group/key pair issues have been resolved).
The underlying reason for not having this functionality built into biocloudcentral is because we did not want to keep user information in a database over time because it is somewhat sensitive data...

Hi guys,
For the past two days when I try to launch my CloudMan instance using http://biocloudcentral.herokuapp.com the first time I see an instance get up and running, but it doesn't mount my galaxyData volume and I can't get to the webpage <public DNS>/cloud. The webpage just says "Unable to connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ...".
If I terminate the instance and relaunch through BioCloudCentral it seems to then start up fine.
Any ideas? Is there any more information I can provide to help?
Thanks,
