The following prerequisites apply when you configure Oracle instant access databases:

Prerequisites:

  • 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 (Whole Database-Datafile Copy Share and Database Backup Shares).

    • 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.

    • The storage server must be an appliance or BYO that meets the earlier specified prerequisites.
