Prerequisites when you configure an instant access Oracle database
The following prerequisites apply when you configure Oracle instant access databases:
For Build Your Own (BYO) server, the operating system version must be same as the latest appliance operating system version that is RHEL 7.6 and later.
For BYO server, NGINX is installed on the storage server.
The NGINX version must be same as the one in the corresponding official RHEL version release. You need to install it from the corresponding RHEL yum source (EPEL).
Ensure that the policycoreutils and policycoreutils-python packages are installed from the same RHEL yum source (RHEL server). Then run the following commands:
semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 10087
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
For BYO server, the /mnt folder on the storage server cannot be mounted by any mount points directly. User mount points must be mounted to its subfolders.
For BYO server, enable the logrotate permission in SELinux using the following command:
semanage permissive -a logrotate_t
Instant access is only supported for Oracle backup images when the following conditions are met:
The backup is an Oracle Copilot incremental merge ( and ).
For more information, see Backup Selections tab in the NetBackup for Oracle Administrator's Guide.
The backup is a full database backup.
The primary server, media server, storage server, and client version must be NetBackup 10.0 or later. The NetBackup appliance must be running software version 4.0 or later.
For instant access using backup copies from cloud LSU (logical storage unit), the primary server and media server must be at NetBackup 10.0.1 or later.
The storage server must be NetBackup Appliance, Flex Appliance, Flex WORM, Flex Scale, MSDP AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services)/EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) deployment, and BYO on-premise or cloud-based that meets the earlier specified prerequisites.
For more information about limitations of instant access for cloud LSU (logical storage unit), refer to the
NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
Note:
Oracle Copilot with instant access is not supported on a universal share that has WORM enabled storage.
