Prerequisites when you configure an instant access SQL Server database
The prerequisites are only applicable to Microsoft SQL Server instant access Build Your Own (BYO).
The BYO server operating system version must be Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 or later.
Ensure that the Samba service is installed and the Samba share permission is allowed in the selinux policy using the following command
setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw=1
The storage server with NGINX installed.
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).
If SE Linux is configured, ensure that the
policycoreutilsandpolicycoreutils-python(for RHEL 7) orpolicycoreutils-python-utils(for RHEL 8) 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
Ensure that the
/mntfolder on the storage server is not mounted by any mount points directly. User mount points should be mounted to its subfolders.Enable the logrotate permission in selinux using the following command:
semanage permissive -a logrotate_t
Instant access is only supported for SQL Server backup images when the following conditions are met:
Snapshots are enabled in the policy or the protection plan.
The backup is a full database backup.
The primary server, media server, storage server, and client must be at version 8.3 or later.
For instant access using backup copies from cloud LSU (logical storage unit), the primary server and media server must be at version 10.0.1 or later.
For more information about limitations of instant access for cloud LSU (logical storage unit), refer to the NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
The storage server must be an appliance or BYO that meets the earlier specified prerequisites.
Note:
Instant access for incremental and transaction log backups depends on the instant access capability of its base backup image.
