Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.12.0.1 Administrator Guide for DM5500

Pull images from Docker Hub as authenticated user if Docker pull limits reached

PowerProtect container images are hosted in Docker Hub. If the Kubernetes cluster is unable to pull images from Appliance Infrastructure Service Hub due to Appliance Infrastructure Service pull limits, it might be required to pull images from Appliance Infrastructure Service Hub as an authenticated user.

Perform the following steps to pull the images from Appliance Infrastructure Service Hub:

  1. Create an imagePullSecret in the powerprotect namespace that contains the Docker user credentials. For example:
    kubectl create secret docker-registry secretname --docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER --docker-username=DOCKER_USER --docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD --docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL -n powerprotect
  2. Update the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance deployment in the powerprotect namespace to add a reference to the imagePullSecret created in the previous step:
    1. Run the command kubectl edit deployment powerprotect-controller -n powerprotect
    2. Review the output for the following lines:
                   spec:
                         containers:
    3. Add the following lines:
                   spec:
                         imagePullSecrets:                          <--- New line
                         - name:  <secret name>                <---- New line
                         containers:
    4. Repeat these steps for the Velero deployment in the velero-ppdm namespace,
