You can create a Docker container image by running the ./cvpkgadd command from the Commvault DVD/Disk3 directory.
Important: To upgrade to a new platform release or maintenance release of the Commvault software, you must rebuild the Commvault image with the new DVD, and then upgrade the Commvault docker container as a rolling non-disruptive upgrade. Upgrading Commvault by pushing maintenance releases from the CommCell Console might not be successful if the pods have restarted.
Before You Begin
Create an installation package with the Commvault software. For more information, see Downloading Software for UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh Computers Using the Download Manager.

On the Linux client where the Docker package is installed and the Docker repository is running, copy the Commvault installation media to create and push the Commvault images.
