Default Admin Debug Packages

To install admin debug packages on the cluster nodes, add the following entry to the softwares list in the software_config.json file:

{"name": "admin_debug_packages", "arch": ["x86_64", "aarch64"]}

Note

Deploying admin_debug_packages increases the size of the local repository and requires additional disk space.

The following table lists the default admin debug packages installed on the cluster nodes:
