If External Certificate Authority (ECA) is configured on the setup, then it is recommended that the above EEBs should be installed during upgrade, otherwise upgrade to version 3.5.100 may not work.
The above mentioned EEBs should be uploaded on NetBackup Flex Scale web UI before upgrade to install the EEBs during upgrade.
