Resolution

Open a Migration Awareness Case via Broadcom Support.

The purpose of a proactive Case is to prepare in advance of a maintenance window.

Note: Broadcom Support will not be able to provide dedicated support to be on standby during the maintenance window.  If you experience issues during your scheduled change, please reach out on your proactive case and request an uplift in severity and the next available technical support engineer will contact you.
