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.
