ECS CommunityEdition - Install without VDC
I want to install 2 ECS systems in the lab and establish georeplication. I can't do that if I am required to create a VDC during installation. How do I get around that. I need to show active-active access and other solutions requiring georeplication. This was possible before we went to the deploy.yml process.

This is actually really easy to do two different ways:
1. Just don't run `step2`.
- or -
2. Add all your nodes to deploy.yml, specifying which storage pools go with which VDCs, and then specify a replication group with two VDCs.
After a successful run of whichever `step1` process you need for your environment, you end up with a fully deployed ECS in an unconfigured state. If you opt to do everything by hand (option 1 above), then you can simply login to the UI of each deployment, configure VDC trust, and establish a replication group between two or more VDCs.
Let me know if you run into any other issues and I can help you out.
