HP-UX 11.0 Discontinued

[Mike Bruner]

Is there any written documentation available that says HP-UX 11.0 is going obsolete in 2004?

[Pete Randall]

Nothing yet.

Somebody read something to me that he got off the web that indicated 11.0 was being discontinued 3/31/04, but he doesn't reme,ber where he got it from.

[Jeff Schussele]

Gosh - I hope not.
I'm just now upgrading my few remaining 10.2 systems - but I am going to 11i with them.
But we've got hundreds of 11.0 systems.
I don't think we could upgrade them all in a year.

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks Patrick.
I'll sleep better tonight.

This would only mean 11.0 would not be sold any longer, but it would still be supported.

[Jeff Schussele]

Mike,

Yea - you're correct.
But it would still be quite the chore to do in 2 years.

Rgds,
Jeff

I wouldn't get too comfortable, I think that the information I heard is valid, I just need to see it in writing. The person I heard it from said he also heard it in a weninar this morning.

I've been gradually moving my systems to 11i anyway - just because I'm paranoid - but if you look at Patrick's chart, there's a 4 and a half year gap between the end of support for 9.04 and 10.20. Extrapolation puts 11.0 end of support way out there in 2007.

(but I'm still migrating)
