The Portworx Enterprise container ships with an archive containing precompiled modules for the kernels which were available at the time the container was released. If a kernel is released after a Portworx release, a pre-compiled version of the modules will not exist in the container. If Portworx is deployed in a setup which does not have access to mirrors.portworx.com to download the latest modules (for example, an air-gapped deployment), then Portworx will fail to come up.

Alternatively, in such deployments, you can publish the updated containers to internal container repositories where Portworx can download the new kernel modules.

Regardless of whether your cluster accesses the updated container through mirrors.portworx.com or an internal container registry, you can use that container to update your nodes' Portworx installation to include the latest batch of precompiled modules. Perform the update by running a DaemonSet in the cluster where Portworx has been installed.
