Flashing Amber Light on expansion shelf
5250 with newly installed 1st Expansion shelf (and memory) Worked with support post install to extend MSDP with no issues. Appliance and storage has been working without issue since install (2+ weeks) I've searched for h/w guides for this information and I can't find any. On the front panel (left hand side) of the expansion shelf, there are 3 lights. Top "check mark"- Green, solid. Below that is an unlighted green light next to what might be an "X" (??). Below that is the amber light, what I would describe as slow steady flashing, next to the disk or storage symbol (??). I've checked the appliance interfaces and don't see an error condition or log entry that might cause the steady flash. Is this normal behavior?media close error 87

The following email was sent to all Appliance customers on November 12, 2024. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Veritas Customer, This is an urgent reminder. Similar reminders were sent, earlier this year, on January 28 and May 1. As you may know, Veritas Appliances are protected by a hardened version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Operating System (OS). This article lists the RHEL version in each Veritas Appliance release and the end of OS vulnerability fix support date, which is the earlier of the end of RHEL support date and end of Veritas primary support date. To continue receiving OS vulnerability fixes and keep your appliances secure and operating efficiently, you must upgrade to a RHEL 8.8-based Appliance release (as recommended below). Veritas will be unable to provide fixes to OS vulnerabilities if you are not running a RHEL 8.8-based appliance release. NetBackup Flex Appliance 5.1 If 5.x is not an option, then upgrade to 4.2 NetBackup Appliance 5.3.0.1 Maintenance Release 3 (MR3) If 5.3.0.1 MR3 is not an option, then upgrade to an earlier Maintenance Release of 5.3.0.1 NetBackup Access Appliance 8.3 If 8.3 is not an option, then upgrade to 8.2 NetBackup Flex Scale 3.2.100 To maintain the highest security posture and protect against cyber threats, customers should always upgrade to the latest available release and apply the latest available Quarterly Maintenance Release (MRs) and Monthly Security Patches (SPs) on NetBackup Flex Appliances and NetBackup Appliances. MRs deliver a roll-up of product and security fixes, while SPs deliver the latest OS vulnerability fixes. Irrespective of whether you take the above action or not, you will continue to get support per Veritas product lifecycle. If you have any questions, please Contact Support | Veritas™ or create a Support case Online. Additional information about Maintenance Releases and Security Patches can be found in the following articles: NetBackup Appliance Maintenance Releases NetBackup Flex Appliance Maintenance Releases Veritas Appliances Monthly Security Patches Sincerely, Your Veritas Support Team
