hi, The major reason we see many issues is that the BPCU is not updated with the suitable hash information. Overlays functionality in case of migration from older version to ARS 7.6.0.4 largely depends on the way BPCU works.
Either BMC can provide with the hash information of older version (if they are willing too) you are upgrading from or you can run it against the clean copy of the old version installation to get the hash information (hope thats easy have not done it myself yet). Overlays and other features are still very young in the environment but well given time they will be stable just the question is how much time?
