Verify permissions before deployment on Linux

Prev Next

If you plan to use the Zesty Disk CLI (zestyctl) on Linux instances, use the zestyctl verification command to verify that the integrated AWS instance account has the necessary permissions to run Zesty Disk features.

During verification, a volume is created and deleted. If tagging is enforced on new volumes, use the --device_name flag to specify an existing instance device. The verification will identify the related volume and its tags and will use those for the volume created for the verification test.

This topic describes a specific use of the zestyctl verification command. For a full description of the command, see zestyctl verification.

Prerequisites

  • The Zesty Disk Agent is installed.

To verify permissions:

  1. Run the verification command:
    zestyctl disk verification start [--device_name=<device>]

    Example:

    zestyctl disk verification start [--device_name=/dev/xvdb]

    Where:

    • (Optional) <device> is a device name. If tagging is enforced, use this flag to designate a current device.


      The verification process may take a few minutes. When you want to see results, proceed with the next step.

  2. To see verification results, run the following:

    zestyctl disk verification status
