Logging in to the pods

You can log in to the pods for the maintenance purpose.

To log in to the pod, run the kubectl executable file.

Run MSDP commands with non-root user msdpsvc after logging in to an engine pod.

For example, sudo -E -u msdpsvc <command>

The MSDP Scaleout services in an engine pods are running with non-root user msdpsvc. If you run the MSDP Scaleout services or commands with the root user, MSDP Scaleout may stop working due to file permissions issues.
