PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Kubernetes User Guide
Velero pod backup and restore might fail if namespace being protected contains a large number of resources
Kubernetes namespaces can include a large number of resources, such as secrets, configuration maps, custom resources, and so on. When a namespace being protected by PowerProtect Data Manager contains 1500 or more of these resources, the Velero pod might run out of memory, causing backup and restore operations to fail with an error.
If the namespace being protected has more than 1500 resources and protection jobs are failing with a Velero backup or restore error, increase the memory limits of the Velero pod by performing the following:
- Run the command kubectl edit deployment velero -n velero-ppdm, or an equivalent command.
- Review the output for the section on resource limits, which appears similar to the following:
resources: limits: cpu: "1" memory: 256Mi - Change the memory limit, depending on the number of Kubernetes resources in the namespace. For example:
- If the number of Kubernetes resources in the namespace exceeds 2000, change the memory limit to 512 Mi.
- If the number of Kubernetes resources in the namespace exceeds 3000, change the memory limit to 1024 Mi.
