PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 Kubernetes User Guide
PPDMK8SDIAG diagnostics tool
The PPDMK8SDIAG tool is available for download in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI for Dell customer support and services teams. When downloaded to a host that has access to the Kubernetes server, the tool can be run to determine if a non-VMware CSI driver-based storage class in use in your environment is supported for PowerProtect Data Manager protection.
To download the tool:
- In the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click
and then select
Downloads.
- In the left pane, select Kubernetes.
- In the PPDMK8SDIAG box, click Download, and then download the package from the PowerProtect Data Manager host to a local system.
The README file included in the ppdmk8sdiag.tar.gz download provides more information.
