Hi,
We have an issue with netbackup appliance 5220 appliance configuration.
It fail with an error " Failed to move the Netbackup Appliance Directory serveice to configuration partition".
Attached file for reference.
The following are action performed:
1) Factory reset the appliance and try to upgrade it to 3.1.1 ---- Result:- self test failed.
2) Flash the appliance with USB to version 2.7.3 --- Result :- Successful but after first attempt to configure as media server, Mongodb services is failed.
My master server version is 8.1.1 on windows 2016 failover cluster ( two-node ).
Need your support to resolve this issue.

Hi Jaweed
The 5220 will be EOSL in 2 months time. Its not a good idea to try and use it anymore.

Hello Riaan,
Thanks for your reply.
We have already informed to the customer about EOSL, but they are insisting to configure this appliance before they buy a new appliance.
Where do you think the issue? is it with RAID controller of appliance ?

What in the information you have provided leads you to believe the RAID controller is the problem -- is there something else you haven't told us? What logs have you reviewed? What was the cause of the self-test failure when attempting to re-image at 3.1.1? Have you run a hardware test and gotten any errors?
It's unlikely, but is the appliance still under maintenance/support? If so, they should log a ticket. While fundamentally I agree with Riaan, some environments really like to milk every day they can out of an expiring platform, I get that. This technology was originally released in 2011, so it is at the end of its life expectancy for sure.
