Gemfire Docker Image "not found"

Products

• Pivotal GemFire
• VMware Tanzu Gemfire

Issue/Introduction

When Installing VMware Tanzu GemFire image via Docker you receive the following error:

registry.packages.broadcom.com/pivotal-gemfire/vmware-gemfire:10.2-jdk21: not found

Cause

The issue occurs due to the use of a floating tag like "10.2", for a specific 10.2.X image. This may have been valid at one point, but Gemfire's release process has been updated in early 2026 to use the full major.minor.patch versioning. Internal workflows or helm charts may have outdated information on our current installation guidance.

Resolution

Please be aware that Broadcom's registry token process has changed as of Jan 26th, 2026: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/421110.

Once you have your new registry token, you have 2 options to resolve this issue:

1. Use the full major.minor.patch version in your image pull:

   registry.packages.broadcom.com/pivotal-gemfire/vmware-gemfire:10.2.1-jdk21

2. Use the Docker floating tag image:

   gemfire/gemfire:10.2-jdk21
