<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">I’m going to test the pbs sites.xml approach and see how it works. Indeed the time to start coasters is really quite irritating, especially since my coasters
are now not staying in a persistent state. I have a 12 hr job running on all my OSDC cores now (actually just requested more) so I will test it after this finishes.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Now that I’m looking at my below sites.xml file though, it seems only my localhost pool is not ‘coaster-persistent’ so this is most likely what is causing
the issue.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">On a slightly different note sites.xml file note, my start-coaster-service is rewriting the sites.xml file each time. Is there a simple way to prevent this
from happening, or it does need to happen, can <br>
I at least add my localhost pool into the file automatically. My current OSDC sites file looks like below and I have been manually adding in the localhost pool everytime I restart the coasters:</span></p>

When you run ssh -vvv, does the timing of log output suggest where the problem is?<br>

Can you run into some tool like typescript, or a "screen" log, that will timestamp the records, and send those to OSDC Support?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Hi Matthew, </p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">I set up a test on OSDC with 10 nodes. I did notice something strange there. When I try to SSH from the Sullivan head node to one of my CentOS instances, it takes much longer than it should:</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Are you running start-coaster-service from the Sullivan head node? For each node in your node list, there are three SSH commands (one to create a directory structure, one to scp the <a href="http://worker.pl/" target="_blank">worker.pl</a> script
there, and one to launch <a href="http://worker.pl/" target="_blank">worker.pl</a>). This is done serially in the 0.94 branch. I can see how this would take very long. I will make some changes to speed up start-coaster-service, but in the meantime, here are
a few suggestions:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">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?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">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. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Let me know what you think. I have some example OSDC/PBS configs if you decide to go that route.</p>
</div>
<div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Thanks,</p>
