• This release of Flex Appliance introduces NetBackup primary server resilience across any two Flex appliances with remote replication. Remote replication saves easy-to-manage replicas of your primary server application instances on another appliance. You can use remote replication to minimize downtime during planned maintenance or troubleshooting activities and as additional protection from a disaster scenario. You can also use remote replication to easily migrate your data from one Flex appliance to another.
• A security administrator user role has been added in this release.

• The majority of the actions that you can perform from the Application instances section of the System topology page have moved from the table header to the Actions menu to the right of each instance.

• You can now choose whether or not to mask user data in the log packages that you generate from the Flex Appliance Console.
• This release introduces the support storage-shelf shutdown command to safely shut down the storage shelves on a 53xx appliance.
• The One-Time Password that was previously required to unlock access in lockdown mode has been replaced with an access key. Veritas Support can generate the access key on their own, or you can generate it from System Health Insights.
