To successfully install Unified Manager on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, your system must be set up with access to the 7-zip software package. If network access is available and the 7-zip URL is unblocked by a firewall, 7-zip downloads automatically to your system during an installation or upgrade process. NetApp recommends the automatic download method.

Ensure the following URL is unblocked in your firewall to allow Unified Manager to automatically download the 7-zip software package: https://7-zip.org/a/7z2301-linux-x64.tar.xz

Alternatively, you can pre-install 7-zip.
