+|With VMware HCX versions 4.10.3 and earlier, attempts to download upgrade bundles or the Connector OVA directly from the HCX Manager UI (port 443) fail due to the decommissioning of the external image depot server. More information can be obtained in this Knowledge Base article from Broadcom. [Upgrade Bundle Download from 443 UI will Fail in All HCX versions prior to 4.11](https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/395372)| April 2025 | We will begin upgrading all Azure VMware Solution customers to HCX 4.11.0 in the coming weeks, this will provide customers with access to the HCX Connector upgrade bundles, which will be stored on their vSAN datastore. Until then, all customers will need to submit a support request (SR) to obtain the required upgrade bundles. | May 2025 |
 |[VMSA-2025-0005](https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/25518) VMware Tools for Windows update addresses an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2025-22230). | April 2025 | To remediate CVE-2025-22230, apply version 12.5.1 of VMware Tools, use the Azure VMware Solution Run command ``Set-Tools-Repo.`` | May 2025 |
 | If you're a user of AV64, you may notice a “Status of other hardware objects” alarm on your hosts in vCenter Server. This alarm doesn't indicate a hardware issue. It's triggered when the System Event Log (SEL) reaches its capacity threshold according to vCenter Server. Despite the alarm, the host remains healthy with no hardware-related error signatures detected, and no high availability (HA) events are expected as a result. It's safe to continue operating your private cloud without interruption. The alarm has only two possible states—green and red—with no intermediate warning state. Once the status changes to red, it will remain red even if conditions improve to what would typically qualify as a warning. | April 2025 | This alarm should be treated as a warning and won't affect operability of your private cloud. Microsoft adjusts thresholds for the alarm, so it doesn't alert in vCenter Server. | May 2025 |
 | After deploying an AV48 private cloud, you may see a High pNIC error rate detected. Check the host's vSAN performance view for details if alert is active in the vSphere Client.  | April 2025  | The alert should be considered an informational message, since Microsoft manages the service. Select the **Reset to Green** link to clear it. | April 2025 |

+## HCX Upgrade and Hybridity Depot Decommissioning
+
+The HCX Hybridity Depot has been decommissioned by Broadcom. All Azure VMware Solution customers will be upgraded to HCX 4.11.0 in the coming weeks. Until customers are fully upgraded to HCX 4.11.0, they must submit a support request (SR) to obtain the required HCX Connector upgrade bundles. Once customers are upgraded to HCX 4.11.0, previous and current HCX Connector upgrade bundles will be avialable directly to them from their vSAN datastore.
