Notes:

• Reboot is not required after the script is run.  
• The script is nondisruptive to the main RecoverPoint operations. 
• The script run time is around 10 seconds per RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) in the RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines system. 
• After the script runs, the Installation menu of this RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) in the RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines system is restarted and will be unavailable for 5 minutes or so. 

• For additional details and remediation options for CVE-2026-22769, see Dell Technologies recommends following the remediation steps detailed in DSA-2026-079, to remediate CVE-2026-22769.
• If a RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Appliance is reimaged (version 6.0 SP3 P1 or older), the procedure must be run again manually. 
• If new RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Appliances (version 6.0 SP3 P1 or older) are deployed to be added to an existing cluster or to form a new cluster, the procedure must be run. 
• If additional support is needed, contact Dell support.
