Configure SQL Server Linux Containers

Back up and restore databases on SQL Server Linux container images using Docker. For more information, see the Microsoft SQL Server on Docker documentation.

Before You Begin

• Identify a server group in the CommServe to add the SQL Server Linux container to. This group acts as the Linux container group.

Procedure

1. Create a container and configure a shared memory size of at least 1 GB, using a docker run command with the --shm-size parameter.

2. Allow the SQL Server to use shared memory by editing the configuration file inside the container:

   • File path: /var/opt/mssql/mssql.conf

   • Add or update the following parameter:

     
     [memory] enablecontainersharedmemory=true
     

3. Restart the SQL Server instance to apply the configuration changes.

4. Copy the Commvault software into the container.

5. Configure a one-way firewall connection from the identified server or Linux container group in your CommServe to the My CommServe Computer and MediaAgents group.

6. In the container, initiate the interactive installation of the Commvault software, and select the identified server or Linux container group from the Server group list.
