Cannot create Services in IBM Bluemix

Question

Every time, when I try to create a service in IBM Bluemix (web and CLI), the following error message appears:

Creating service instance my-compose-for-mysql-service in org XXX / space XXX as XXX...
FAILED
Server error, status code: 502, error code: 10001, message: Service broker error: {"description"=>"Deployment creation failed - {\"errors\":\"insufficient_storage\",\"status\":507}"}

How can free storage or fix the error?

I already did the following steps:

• Delete all other spaces and apps
• Delete all services
• Reinstall CLI

Answer 1

This error message is stating that the compose backend has reached full capacity and does not have enough resources to create your service.

The compose engineers will be aware of this issue and will be working towards adding more capacity to the backend.

Please wait and try again later, or if urgent raise a support ticket.

Answer 2

Are you using the experimental version of the MYSQL service, which has been retired? The experimental instances were disabled recently on August 7, 2017. There is a newer production version of the Compose for MySQL service, which is available here: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/compose-for-mysql/

For more information about the experimental service retirement and its replacement, see: https://www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2017/06/bluemix-experimental-services-sunset/

Answer 3

Okay, after reaching out to various support agents:

The problem is not a general bug. I was using a company related account which accumulate all databases of the company domain in one Sandbox which is just running out of storage. Compose seems to already working on it.

My solution until the official fix: Use a different non-business account to host the database.
