Like many companies during the pandemic, Veritas has experienced supply chain challenges.  To alleviate some of the supply constraints, we have executed on a second source strategy for certain components in the manufacturing of our Appliances.  Execution of this strategy strikes a balance between time to market and user experience.  The result of those trade-offs will require customers with new 5250’s shipping after May 25th, 2022, with the new D-Series storage expansion shelf, to install a Hotfix after configuration of their 5250.  This Hotfix is required to suppress a false SAS cable connection alert.  The Hotfix can be found on the Veritas Download Center at https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/downloads/update.UPD587704

Implementation of the second source strategy also introduced a new limitation to our NetBackup Appliances.  Previously, the 5250 was released with NBA version 3.2.  Customers have been able to reimage the NetBackup Appliances back to versions 3.2, 3.3.0.1, 4.0, 4.1 or leverage the current version 5.0.  Unfortunately, some of the new components require firmware and/or driver compatibility not supported by the second source vendor.  Due to this limitation, NetBackup Appliances shipping after May 25th, 2022 will only be supported on NBA versions 4.0, 4.1 or 5.0.
