The root cause here was operator error on my part. I had deployed ECS on a CentOS VM I spun up that used a 7.5 ISO, rather than 7.4.

I redeployed on 7.4 and now #step1 is successful but #step2 hangs pinging the endpoint for more than 1 hour.

I am also seeing "SystemVirtualArrayModule.java (line 159) System varray : null" in the logs but I don't know if that's an issue.

The total number of DTs is shows as 0.

step1 (successful)
