Solved!  This is mainly for the Googlers that hit this page with the same errors.  How I solved my problem with ECS 2.1 single node deployment:  That's it.  Now, no doubt the good folk at EMC will sort out the problems with the step1 script soon, so you may not need any of this, other than the wait bit in step2.  That is related closely to the size of your data disk.  Another tip that I found along the way.  If you're playing around/suffering with failed deployments and find you are removing & re-deploying the container multiple times, you can achieve this without having to continually re-download the Docker package & ECS image.  To do this, in the Step1 script, simply comment out the following lines:  Good luck  Ben
Hi all,  I'm having a problem with my recently built ECS Single-Node Community Edition.  I'm running on CentOS 7.1.1503, Docker version 1.4.1, and ECS version 2.1.0.0  When I try to create a Virtual Data Center via the GUI, the error is:  "Error 7000 (http: 500): An error occurred in the API Service.  An error occurred in the API Service. Cause: error insertVdcInfo.  Virtual Data Center creation failure may occur when Data Services has not completed initialization.  Please retry after a few minutes."  When I try this, the virtual machine's CPU usage hits 100%, and stays there.  I have also tried via the command line, using the "step2" python script, with a similar result (I didn't record the error, but will recreate if it's important).  Has anyone else had the same difficulty?  More importantly, does anyone know how to fix this, or at least where I can look to see what the actual problem is?  Cheers,  Ben
