Aruba 8320 recently upgraded to 10.05.0021 from 10.03.0090.
Error on copy running configuration to TFTP Server when using FQDN:
curl: (45) bind failed with errno 99: Cannot assign requested address.
NO error if the copy to TFTP Server is executed using the IP address.
Before the update both methods (FQDN and IP) worked.
The same command executed pre/post upgrade:
Pre (10.03.0090):

Note: OoBM interface should run a 1Gbps. Our TFTP server is connected with 4x1Gbps LACP.
Difference in upload speeds are due to the fact that on the case of copy to TFTP performed on ArubaOS-CX 10.05.0021 our NAS was heavily used so the free bandwidth was somewhat limited.
Nevertheless the upload happened successfully in both cases (on 10.03.0090 by using our nas01's FQDN and on 10.05.0021 only by using our nas01's IP).
Our internal NS(s) were always reachable since, in both cases (pre/post-upgrade) simple ping using both IP or FQDN worked:

to prove that name resolution worked pre-upgrade and, see below, also post-upgrade.

Note that the average RTT measured when our VSX was on 10.05.0021 with respect to the average RTT of the same ping made when the VSX was on 10.03.0090 was higher due to the NAS01 usage at that time.
I retried few times and the the ping's RTT lowered on 10.05.0021 (being basically equal to RTT seen before the upgrade...notice that the upgrade happened hours before copy test to TFTP once in 10.05.0021) but the issue about copy to TFTP by using FQDN persisted.
Cleary our TFTP service running on our NAS01 didn't changed in between.
Reversed output of show events (related to copy attempts to TFTP Server):

The same happens on the other Aruba 8320 (VSX Secondary node, vsx-2).
OoBM interfaces were/are clearly connected at 1000FDx to our LAN infrastructure.
Side Note: the
copy support-files all tftp://nas01.datafarm.local/support-file.tar.gz vrf mgmt command, as example, works flawlessly even with FQDN, as expected!
