+### 3. Failure due to incorrect podManifests path. 
+
+PodManifests path is the dir where k8s static pod YAML file located.
+Tools like kubeadm/minikube/kind all set that path to /etc/kubernetes/manifests. And we choose to follow that setting.
+    
+So if you manually change that setting, this will leads to a convert failure.
+To fix it, we recommend creating a soft link:
