Any installation steps for VMware Tanzu? Many other tools already start support VMware Tanzu!

Describe the solution you'd like
Installation steps for tanzu needed. Many tools are supporting tanzu but netapp trident dosent have anu installation steps specific to tanzu

Tanzu worker node images are spinned from pre built images hence no modification possible to tanzu worker node images

Trident does support Tanzu, this is called out in the docs:

Astra Trident also works with a host of other fully-managed and self-managed Kubernetes offerings, including [...] and VMWare Tanzu Portfolio.

See https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/trident-get-started/requirements.html#supported-frontends-orchestrators

Some early versions of Photon did not include NFS client. If you use Photon for your nodes, any recent version will already have this and work fine with the Trident ontap-nas* drivers. IIRC Photon still doesn't support iSCSI/multipathing, hence ontap-san* drivers will not work unless you go for Ubuntu nodes.

Tanzu places kubelet in a different location than most other distributions. You therefore need to set the kubelet-dir flag during Trident deployment. This specific Tanzu need is covered in the Trident documentation: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/trident-get-started/kubernetes-deploy.html#other-known-configuration-options

Other than that, nothing special about Tanzu that would need specific installation steps.

Dear Sir, Customers are also using Tanzu with UBUNTU worker node images. However, Like Photon it also does not support ISCSI/multipathing , the packages are not available out of the box in the machine images that come with TANZU . ONTAP-SAN drivers are not working on Ubuntu Nodes also.
