can I remove a pending node?

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems starting a 50-node cluster now. 49/50 nodes are running, but node027 will not enter the running state (it's stuck in pending).

I've had this problem before. I prefer not to terminate the cluster, because it causes problems (I have to wait 15 minutes before I can re-request the 50 spot instances. And I could have the problem again.)

I killed the starcluster start command. It was stuck:
>>> Waiting for all nodes to be in a 'running' state...
49/50

The starcluster removenode command doesn't work, because SGE wasn't completed.

Is there any way to recover from this point, and to get the cluster running with 49 nodes?

Thanks,
Steve
