Hi there,

Deployed dremio helm chart on kubernetes AWS EKS .  
Nodes are in ready state.  
Dremio-client service has external-ip assigned  
no errors

But dremio-master-0 and dremio-executor-0 pods are in init state and in logs could see below:  
$kubectl logs dremio-executor-0  
Error from server (BadRequest): container “dremio-executor” in pod “dremio-executor-0” is waiting to start: PodInitializing

$ kubectl get pods  
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE  
dremio-executor-0 0/1 Init:0/2 0 99s  
dremio-master-0 0/1 Init:1/4 0 113m  
zk-0 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 113m  
zk-1 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 113m

have changed values.yml,core-site.xml and dremio.config files.  
Still pods are not in running state.  
and unable to access the dremio UI using externalip and port  
Could you please help with resolving this
