Prerequisites of Instant Access Build Your Own (BYO)
Prerequisites (fresh install and upgrade):
The BYO storage server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 and later, same as the NetBackup Appliance operating system version.
The BYO storage server with docker/podman installed.
The docker/podman 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 (RHEL extra).
The docker/podman application is included in the environment path.
The BYO storage server with NFS service installed.
The BYO storage server with NGINX version 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).
Ensure that the policycoreutils and policycoreutils-python packages are installed from the same RHEL yum source (RHEL server) and 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 /mnt folder on the storage server is not mounted by any mount points directly. Mount points should be mounted to its subfolders.

semanage permissive -a logrotate_t
