Errands are scripts that run at designated points during an installation.  

To configure which post-deploy and pre-delete errands run for 
Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition:

1. Make a selection in the dropdown next to each errand.  
<% if current_page.data.iaas == "vSphere-NSX-T" %>
    <p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: We recommend that you use the 
    default settings for all errands except for the <strong>NSX validation</strong> 
    and <strong>Run smoke tests</strong> errands.
    </p> 
<% else %>
    <p class="note"><strong>Note</strong>: We recommend that you use the 
    	default settings for all errands except for the **Run smoke tests** errand.
    </p> 
<% end %>
<% if current_page.data.iaas == "vSphere-NSX-T" %>
1. (Optional) Set the **NSX validation** errand to **On**.  

    This errand verifies the NSX objects.
<% end %>
1. (Optional) Set the **Run smoke tests** errand to **On**.  

    The Smoke Test errand smoke tests the TKGI upgrade by creating and deleting a test Kubernetes cluster. 
    If test cluster creation or deletion fails, the errand fails, and the installation of the 
    TKGI tile halts.  
    
<% if current_page.data.iaas == "vSphere-NSX-T" %>
    The errand uses the TKGI CLI to create the test cluster configured using either 
    the configuration settings on the TKGI tile - the default, or a network profile.  

1. (Optional) To configure the Smoke Test errand to use a network profile instead of the default configuration settings on the TKGI tile:  

    * Create a network profile with your preferred smoke test settings.  
    * Configure **Errand Settings** > **Smoke tests - Network Profile Name** with the network profile name.  
    
    <img src="images/nsxt/upgrade-smoke-test-network-profile-config.png" alt="Smoke Test cluster network profile assignment in the Smoke tests - Network Profile Name field.">
<% else %>
    The errand uses the TKGI CLI to create the test cluster configured using 
    the configuration settings on the TKGI tile.  
<% end %>

1. (Optional) To ensure that all of your cluster VMs are patched, 
    configure the **Upgrade all clusters errand** errand to **On**.  
<br>
    Updating the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile with a new 
	Linux stemcell and the **Upgrade all clusters errand** enabled 
	triggers the rolling of every Linux VM in each Kubernetes cluster. 
	Similarly, updating the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile with a new Windows stemcell triggers 
	the rolling of every Windows VM in your Kubernetes clusters.  
    <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> <%= vars.recommended_by %> recommends that you 
    review the Broadcom Support metadata and confirm stemcell version compatibility before using 
    the Broadcom Support APIs to update the stemcells in your automated pipeline. 
    Retrieve the stemcell versions that are compatible with your TKGI version by clicking <strong>Upgrade/Dependency Information</strong> at the top right of the download page for your TKGI CLI & Tile version on Broadcom Support.
