Procedures

To add the repo, run the following command:
```
helm repo add commvault https://commvault.github.io/helm-charts
```
If you added this repo earlier, run the helm repo update command to retrieve the latest versions of the packages.
To see the charts, run the following command:
```
helm search repo commvault
```
Values for different charts appear.

To see detailed explanations of these files, run the following command:
```
 
helm show values commvault/<chartname>
```
Values can also be supplied using the --set command line parameter.

To see the Docker hub repository for Commvault, see Commvault Docker Hub Repository.

Install Using --set Command

You can install Commvault packages by using the --set command line parameter.

To install the config chart, run the following command:
```
helm upgrade --install config commvault/config --set csOrGatewayHostName=cs.commvault.svc.cluster.local --set secret.user=installuser --set secret.password=password --namespace commvault
```
The config chart contains the config map for all of the Commvault component chart installs. You must always install the config chart prior to a new chart installation.
Note
- By default, the config chart deploys a container with cvpatcher service. This service facilitates the automatic upgrading of container clients whenever an installation upgrade job is triggered from the console.
- If you do not want to deploy the cvpatcher service, then add the following parameter to the helm upgrade command: --set cvpatcher=false
- For new installation of the CommServe server, the secret.password must have a minimum of eight characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character (for example, Wer1f*gd).

Install the CommServe chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install commserve commvault/commserve --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To install the Web Server chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install webserver commvault/webserver --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To install the Command Center chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install commandcenter commvault/commandcenter --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To install the MediaAgent chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install mediaagent commvault/mediaagent --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To install the network gateway chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install networkgateway commvault/networkgateway --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To install the access node chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install accessnode commvault/accessnode --set global.image.tag={tagvalue} --namespace commvault

To uninstall a chart, run the following command:

 
helm delete <release-name> --namespace commvault

Install Using Value Files

You can install Commvault packages by using value files.

To see detailed explanations of these files, run helm show values commvault/<chartname>. Values can also be supplied using the --set command line parameter.

To install the config chart, run the following command:
```
helm upgrade --install cvconfig commvault/config -f configvalues.yaml -f global.yaml
```
The config chart contains the config map for all of the Commvault component chart installs. You must always install the config chart prior to a new chart installation.

Install the CommServe chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install commserve commvault/commserve -f csvalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To install the Web Server chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install webserver commvault/webserver -f webservervalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To install the Command Center chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install commandcenter commvault/commandcenter -f commandcentervalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To install the MediaAgent chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install mediaagent commvault/mediaagent -f mediaagentvalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To install the network gateway chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install networkgateway commvault/networkgateway -f networkgatewayvalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To install the access node chart, run the following command:

helm upgrade --install accessnode commvault/accessnode -f accessnodevalues.yaml -f global.yaml

To uninstall a chart, run the following command:
```
 
helm delete <release-name>
```
