+MinIO Support (``mc support``)

+
+The MinIO Client :mc-cmd:`mc support` command line tool provides commands related to the MinIO subscription network, SUBNET, and the ability to performance analysis on performance and diagnostic information.
+
+While :mc-cmd:`mc` supports any S3-compatible service, :mc-cmd:`mc support` *only* supports MinIO deployments.
+
+:mc-cmd:`mc support` has the following syntax:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   mc support COMMAND [COMMAND FLAGS | -h] [ARGUMENTS...]
+
+
+Command Quick reference

+
+The following table lists :mc-cmd:`mc admin` commands:

+
+Installation
+------------
+
+.. include:: /includes/minio-mc-installation.rst
+
+Quickstart
+----------
+
+Ensure that the host machine has :mc:`mc` :ref:`installed <mc-support-install>` before starting this procedure.
+
+.. important::
+
+   The following example temporarily disables the bash history to mitigate the
+   risk of authentication credentials leaking in plain text. This is a basic
+   security measure and does not mitigate all possible attack vectors. Defer to
+   security best practices for your operating system for inputting sensitive
+   information on the command line.
+
+Use the :mc-cmd:`mc alias set` command to add the MinIO deployment
+to the :mc-cmd:`mc` :ref:`configuration <mc-configuration>`.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+   :class: copyable
+
+   bash +o history
+   mc alias set ALIAS HOSTNAME ACCESS_KEY SECRET_KEY
+   bash -o history
+
+- Replace ``ALIAS`` with a name to associate to the MinIO deployment. 
+  :mc-cmd:`mc` commands typically require ``ALIAS`` as an argument for
+  identifying which MinIO deployment to execute against.
+
+- Replace ``HOSTNAME`` with the URL endpoint or IP address of the MinIO deployment.
+
+- Replace ``ACCESS_KEY`` and ``SECRET_KEY`` with the access and secret 
+  keys for a user on the MinIO deployment. 
+
+Replace each argument with the required values. Specifying only the 
+``mc config host add`` command starts an input prompt for entering the
+required values.
+
+Use the :mc-cmd:`mc admin info` command to test the connection to
+the newly added MinIO deployment:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+   :class: copyable
+
+   mc admin info <ALIAS>
+
+Global Options
+--------------
+
+:mc-cmd:`mc support` supports the same global options as 
+:mc-cmd:`mc`. See :ref:`minio-mc-global-options`.
