RHCS 3 - containers, selinux enforcing - after upgrade from RHEL 7.4 to RHEL 7.5 Ceph containers will not start

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

We have upgraded our Ceph 3 containerized environment from RHEL 7.4 to RHEL 7.5.
After reboot, the Ceph containers are not starting, failing with permission denied pointing to selinux alrert

Apr 16 05:49:10 mons-2.container.quicklab.pnq2.cee.redhat.com dockerd-current[1125]: mktemp: failed to create directory via template '/var/lib/ceph/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX': Permission denied
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mktemp from write access on the directory tmp.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that mktemp should be allowed write access on the tmp directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'mktemp' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mktemp
# semodule -i my-mktemp.pp
