Explanation:

The InfoScale bundle 7.4.2.3300 is obsolete after 7.4.2.3600 version released. The 7.4.2.3600 bundle contains all components of 7.4.2.3300.

Customer will need to upgrade to 7.4.2.3600 if they are using latest kernel of the RHEL 8.7(4.18.0-425.19.2).  The VxFS and ODM of 7.4.2.3300 will not install on this kernel version.
