+#### _Managing lifecycle of Harbor when it's installed with Clair_ 
+
+When Harbor is installed with Clair, an extra template file ```docker-compose.clair.yml``` is needed for docker-compose commands. The docker-compose commands to manage the lifecycle of Harbor are:
+```
+$ sudo docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -f ./docker-compose.clair.yml [ up|down|ps|stop|start ]
+```
+For example, if you want to change configuration in ```harbor.cfg``` and re-deploy Harbor when it's installed with Clair, the following commands should be used:
+```sh
+$ sudo docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -f ./docker-compose.clair.yml down -v
+$ vim harbor.cfg
+$ sudo prepare --with-clair
+$ sudo docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml -f ./docker-compose.clair.yml up -d

+#### _Managing lifecycle of Harbor when it's installed with Notary and Clair_

+If you have installed Notary and Clair, you should include both components in the docker-compose and prepare commands:

+## Performance tuning
+By default, Harbor limits the CPU usage of Clair container to 150000 and avoids its using up all the CPU resources. This is defined in the docker-compose.clair.yml file. You can modify it based on your hardware configuration.

 ## Troubleshooting
