deployment.
● Deployment tasks that are scheduled on 11G servers and/or using Hardware Profile based Deployment Templates are
canceled.

● Repository Profiles will use only 64-bit bundles.

If you perform backup and restore from 4.x to 5.x, a warning symbol is displayed against the cluster profile name
because OMIVV does not support 32-bit firmware bundle in 5.x. To use the latest changes for the cluster profile, edit
