+Also, in order to re-deploy the database (it is assumed that the corresponding mariadb container has been stopped and deleted) while the persistent storage already exists (currently, the directory /var/lib/mariadb of the host is used), a different approach should be used after the image build process.
+
+To this end, another script has been developed, namely deploy_with_existing_storage.sh which easily deploys the container. This script accepts the following items as input parameters:
+
+CONTAINER_NAME, the name of the container, default value is akraino-validation-mariadb
+MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD, the desired mariadb root user password, this variable is required
+REGISTRY, the registry of the mariadb image, default value is akraino
+NAME, the name of the mariadb image, default value is validation
+TAG_PRE, the first part of the image version, default value is mariadb
+TAG_VER, the last part of the image version, default value is latest
+MARIADB_HOST_PORT, the port on which mariadb is exposed on host, default value is 3307
+
+In order to deploy the container, this script can be executed with the appropriate parameters.
+
+Example (assuming the default variables have been utilized for building the image using the make command):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ cd validation/docker/mariadb
+ ./deploy_with_existing_persistent_storage.sh MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
