There was an error when retrieving catalog from Dell EMC through configured proxy (Error Code:0x6400bda)'
EMCSystemLogFile.log shows the following:
2021-01-28T17:09:09.974Z" "xxx_spb@APM00123456789" "Neo_CEM" "17037" "local/admin" "WARN" "14:380012" :: "Failed to get technical advisory with configured proxy http://proxy.FQDN.com:8080." :: Category=User Component=EmcSupportServices TimeZone=UTC
The curl command to check connectivity to the Proxy server is failing:

Cause
In this case, the customer does not allow direct access to a DNS server and only uses Proxy Server to get out. The cause of this issue is that the connection between colu.emc.com and the proxy server was closed before the data transfer between Unity and the proxy server was completed. This appears to be due to the way curl handles the connections.
Resolution
Fix
The fix for this issue will be included in a future Dell EMC Unity OE release. Please watch this Knowledgebase article for updates.
Workaround
Do not use the proxy server for retrieval of technical advisories, or set up a temporary bypass for Unisphere until code which fixes this issue is released.
