- Getting help
The pool name is not displayed in the output of the Objectaccess> bucket show command for the existing buckets after OpenDedup is upgraded from Veritas Access 7.3.0.1 to 7.4
The ObjectAccess configuration is not available for import when you upgrade from Veritas Access 7.3.0.1 to 7.4. Hence, after the upgrade, the pool field is empty for the existing buckets. The pool name is not displayed in the output of the objectaccess> bucket show command. This does not break any functionality.
Workaround:
There is no workaround for this issue.
