If you plan to move the appliance from one geographic location to another, consider the following points to ensure continuance of maintenance and support coverage:
You should not move an appliance to another country.
Certain locations or regions of the world may not be enabled or set up to handle field service calls for parts replacement.
Certain locations or regions may not be able to meet the defined service level agreement (SLA) contract(s) to which the appliance may be associated with.
If it is imperative to move the appliance, you must contact your account access team at Veritas to understand the ramifications or impact (if any) to the SLAs associated with the appliance.
After you have moved the appliance, it is critical to update your registration details such as contact details and location information on the MyAppliance portal to ensure continuance of coverage.
