End of life and End of support announcement for HPE StoreOnce 5100

[Ronaldo_Freitas]

Hello,

I have been assigned to determine the life cycle of a site's hardware.

The site has some HPE StoreOnce 5100. I cannot find an end of life announcement for this product.

What does that mean? How long can I tell them HPE will provide contract support for the systems?

thanks and regards

Hi,

If you need to upgrade it, you can still add more boxes/storages ?

Hello, is there a part number for the caddys for D3650? I searched all HP documentations, and it seems that the only spare part is disk that comes with the caddy.

Hello @mirceapaun ,

The drive caddy is not a separate orderable spare. The drive with the caddy is the part that is orderable and the list of qualified spare parts for StoreOnce 5100 are listed here: HPE StoreOnce 5100 spare parts
