This page describes how to set up and configure the IO tool service.
This service sets up a local web page to access service manuals that include
runbooks, alerts, and error message descriptions which are useful for
troubleshooting the deployment. Google support might ask you to follow one of
these runbooks when troubleshooting. The service also includes tools and scripts
mentioned in the runbooks. You can use this method to set up IO tools
outside the appliance on any of your devices which has
docker installed.
Create a directory on the device and
transfer the prod_te_gdch.tar.gz from the DTO machine to the
that directory. Refer to this directory as $GDCH_ROOT in the following steps.
Extract the downloaded tar to $GDCH_ROOT:
tar-Ipigz-xvfgdch.tar.gz-C$GDCH_ROOT
Navigate to the $GDCH_ROOT/release/ directory and use this command to extract the IO tool: docker image.
