</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">1. The SSH slowness seems to only be from the Sullivan head node to the VMs. SSH connections from one VM to another VM is pretty quick. Are you able to run Swift and start-coaster-service on a VM?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">2. Is a persistent coasters setup needed here? OSDC has an option to launch instances as a cluster, which makes available a PBS scheduler. You could set this up and avoid the need to start and manage workers yourself. <u></u><u></u></p>
