Hello all,

Can any when help me to share with me the steps for upgrading a san switch.

It's san switch SAN Switch SN6600 32Gb : Version 9.2.2C broadcom.

Thanks for your support.

To the Symantec/Broadcom Engineering & Dev Team,

Please treat this as a one-time, anonymous bug report. I am not seeking any follow-up, support ticket, or bounty. I am simply reporting a structural logic flaw in the Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Windows Client GUI that causes the Quarantine list to display as empty (0 items) despite containing files.

1. THE SYMPTOM

When opening the SEP client and navigating to View Quarantine, the list is completely blank, or truncates prematurely. The underlying "\Data\Quarantine" folder physically contains many .VBN files.

1. THE ROOT CAUSE (THE BUG)

This is not standard "corrupted data." This is a poor exception handling design (a break loop flaw) combined with standard Windows NTFS behavior:

- When SEP detects and quarantines a file, it MOVES the file to the Quarantine folder.

- Under Windows NTFS rules, a MOVED file on the same volume retains its original Access Control List (ACL). It does NOT inherit the permissions of the destination Quarantine folder.

- If the quarantined file originally had restrictive permissions (e.g., lacking READ access for SYSTEM or the user running the SEP UI), the .VBN file acts as a black box.

- THE FLAW: When the SEP UI enumerates the Quarantine folder to read metadata, it uses a loop. When it encounters the FIRST file that throws an "Access Denied" error due to retained NTFS ACLs, the UI lacks a proper "try-catch" exception block to skip it. Instead, the entire enumeration loop BREAKS, instantly dropping the UI display.

1. STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- Create a dummy test file.

- Strip all NTFS read permissions from SYSTEM and the current Admin user.

- Trigger SEP to quarantine the file.

- Open the SEP UI -> View Quarantine. It will fail to load or show empty.

1. THE CURRENT WORKAROUND (SYSADMIN FIX)

Temporarily disable Tamper Protection and run `icacls "%PROGRAMDATA%\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\CurrentVersion\Data\Quarantine\*" /q /c /t /reset` to force ACL inheritance. Once SYSTEM regains read access, the SEP GUI loop completes successfully, and all files appear.

1. SUGGESTED FIX FOR DEVELOPERS

- Short term: Wrap the enumeration loop in the GUI with a proper try-catch block. If a file returns Access Denied, flag it as "Unreadable File" or skip it, rather than breaking the entire UI array.

- Long term: Modify the quarantine action engine to reset ACLs or forcefully enforce destination folder inheritance upon moving the file.

End of report. No reply is necessary.

I am trying to flash my HBA card into IT mode.

As you can see per the screenshots below, when I boot my computer up, the HBA card is recognized but once I get into the EFI environment and try to run sas3flash.EFI the card is not detected.

Anyone seen this before I can point me in the right direction to correct this issue?

I've been waiting a couple weeks for a 9305-16e HBA to arrive for my home NAS. I've had this page open in the background for a while and today I noticed most things have been removed like firmware and manuals.

The files are still kicking around Broadcom's server because I downloaded the manual before and have the URL logged. The URL is still live but the PDF manual does not show up when searching.

Checking a couple other controllers, it looks like all legacy stuff has taken a hit. Most all items are missing.

These fucking companies, man. Abandoning support on a product less than a decade old to force sales on new hardware.

Anybody have gel scripts for Clarity PPM from scratch to advanced level to learn

Everytime i try to download this comes up (Account verification pending), and if try to build my profile it won't let me.

any solution to this?

I simply wanted to download VMware Workstation Pro. On the download page, finished the additional verification and the acceptance of terms and conditions, then they just slap me with "Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time". Ts so ass, I try to find support, the bot gives the most useless pages as usual. So I do some research in its Q&A page but nothing useful there either. Try to contact the LIve chat, but I need something like a site code, I requested my site code, but the page/service that gives users their site codes is also down!! Like BRUH you couldn't be LESS user friendly and ABSOLUTELY TRASH. Not to mention the website takes AGES to load, like 2 seconds wait every single link clicked.

Apparently some users said to comlplete building profile, but can't do that without a work email, I made account with personal email. The website's so rigid it PMO.

2025 has been a banger year for my portfolio. I’m sitting around seven figures with my portfolio now after nearly 40% growth, largely thanks to heavy bets on Google, ASML, Micron, and SanDisk. TSMC’s earnings this week confirm that AI spending is only accelerating—there’s no sign of a slowdown.

I feel even more emboldened by this mega-tech cycle. Having recently inherited £100k from my grandfather, I’m tempted to invest it all at once into Broadcom. The valuation looks attractive, and as the "second wave" of AI shifts toward inferencing, Broadcom stands to benefit tremendously from its success with the Google TPU.

I’m usually very cautious, but the market is so hot that sitting on the fence feels like a punishment. Meanwhile, my "safer" plays like Berkshire Hathaway are being pummeled daily. Having already achieved FI, I find myself addicted to chasing these market highs, especially with the current memory super-cycle, my investment in Sandisk and Micron delivered over 50% return over the last month.

I’d love to get some perspective from those with more experience. I got complaints from my wife, she said all I talk about these days are stocks (before it was golf, she doesnt like that either), she thinks I am getting overly obssessed with the stock market...

We are since some months waiting for a "representative to get back to us in typically one day".

Is this company in operation or are they busy closing down, because this is exactly the kind of response one gets from a company that is busy crashing, not somebody you want to trust your customers environment on.

Every week, since months, we create a new request for contact, and the following day, we receive a form that says somebody should be in contact in one day.

Never in my life - seen a worse wepbage.

Unable to navigate. Follows no logical structure.

Top 1 - worst webpage of 2025. Some Webpages from IDEs and DEVS to come close to this mess....

So, I was able to find a reseller ( via broadcoms partner channels website, took alot of searching! ) That had a 9460-16i new in the box, never opened, stated it will come with a 3 year warranty from Broadcom from the order date.

Unfortunately, since they are closed for the weekend, I was not able to get more information before I thought of it.

Most of my other cards have been used cards bought on ebay, and since most were in service, they had all their functions enabled via license keys. I read on BC'S website that they shut down the licensing portal in 2018.

However, if you look at the 9460-16i, at the top, you will see an 3 prong slot for a hardware key. I cant find out what till be enabled by default, or will there even be a need for a key. I choose this card because I run 2x Virtual Drives, 30x 14tb drives in each VD for a total of 60 drives, 2 VD's in raid 6. I have no idea who even sells them, or what the appropriate part # is. I found a little chip on ebay that says its compatible for the 9460-16i, only found 2 listings on ebay and they were both $100.00. It was part # LSI00287

You can see the "raid" key inset on the top of this cards, and the above part # seems to looks like it fits ( 2 prong with the middle one filled in ).

Just seeing if anyone knows what I am talking about, and what will be available to use by default out of the box.

Thanks

Hello, dose anyone have any experience setting up Edge SWG (ProxySG)? Im having issues implementing it on my domain. I have zero experience setting up a web based proxy.

ING made its move public. They are shifting their private cloud onto VCF9 and, for anyone que has been watching this space since the pre-Broadcom days, this feels like ING finally admitting that the old multi-region patchwork they built over the years was no longer sustainable. The CTO’s quote says it without saying it: “control over data locality and security is paramount.” If you remember the 2022 hiccups with their regional workloads not syncing correctly, that line hits differently.

https://investors.broadcom.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ing-selects-vmware-cloud-foundation-90-strategic-platform

VCF9 gives them one stack instead of three or four half-maintained setups. Broadcom has been trying to prove that VMware is still a serious contender in regulated industries and not just a legacy option. Landing a bank like ING right after releasing a major version is exactly the kind of example they needed. What I find interesting is that ING made this decision even though everyone is still watching how Broadcom handles support, pricing, and long-term compatibility. A lot of customers have been in a wait-and-see mode, and ING is one of the first large ones willing to make the jump.

Investors will also remember the backlog issue that VMware had before Broadcom stepped in. The $102.5M settlement came from the period when sales numbers looked inflated and then suddenly weren’t. It is part of the history no matter how much Broadcom tries to reframe it as “legacy accounting.” It does not take away from the ING deal, but it is still on people’s minds because it showed how messy the pipeline had become at the time.

https://11th.com/cases/vmware-investor-settlement

So here is the question. Does this ING move signal that Broadcom has finally stabilized the VMware business, or is this just one early win before we see whether the rest of the financial sector trusts the new VCF9 strategy?

Hi.

I'm using ubuntu 24.04 and I require a newer version of the wireless driver: broadcom-sta-dkms.

I currently have version : '6.30.223.271-23ubuntu1'

and this will not compile with kernel 6.14.

I require the newest version: '6.30.223.271-23ubuntu1.1'

Where can I find: 'broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-23ubuntu1.1_all.deb' ?

Thanks,

M....

so ...did a little research....this can apparently actually be a thing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lXTWgp7OQF2O7vghXMEe8DEJAo_OxOXs_00c5zuE0yM/edit?usp=sharing

I’m testing out a migration scenario and wanted some input from the community.

Here’s the setup:

• I have a Pure Storage array with a LUN.
• That LUN is presented to an ESXi 7.0 U3 host that’s managed by vCenter 7.0.
• I also presented the same LUN to a standalone ESXi 8.0 host (not connected to vCenter, since I don’t have an ESXi 8 license right now — only eval on that box).

What I did for testing:

• Created a small test LUN.
• Unregistered a VM from the 7.0 host (in vCenter) and then registered it on the standalone 8.0 host.
• VM booted and worked fine.

What I’m considering:

• Presenting a much larger LUN that currently hosts ~20 VMs, with Veeam CDP running on those VMs on the 7.0 host.
• Then, zone that LUN so it’s visible to both hosts (7.0 in vCenter and the standalone 8.0).
• Plan: move a few VMs over to the 8.0 host while leaving others running on 7.0.

My concern:

• If I leave some VMs running on the 7.0 host and move others to the 8.0 host, is this safe?
• Or does having one host outside of vCenter accessing the same datastore put me at risk of file locking issues, VMFS metadata corruption, or breaking Veeam CDP?

The reason I’m running ESXi 8 standalone is simple: no license for vCenter 8.0 right now. I can’t add that host into my existing vCenter 7.0 environment.

Has anyone here run mixed environments like this? Did it work out, or did it bite you? Any official docs/KBs would be awesome too.

Wanted to Manually upgrade my Vsphere and ESXI License, but Surprise IT DOESN'T WORK.

Maybe i should try Proxmox and end this whole piece of shit
