HPE Synergy Composer v1 End of Life?

[Mike1295]

Hello,

I received a "Support Alert" email from HPE today where it notified me that Composer 6.6 and Image Streamer 6.4 are available now.   When I clicked on the link, I got to the download page where HPE went on to explain that this is a Long Term Software release for EoL products.

HPE OneView 6.6 is an LTS Release

An HPE OneView long-term support (LTS) release extends support for select HPE hardware platforms. This LTS release may be patched to address security and other customer identified critical issues. A patch to an LTS release will not contain new features.

Long-term support is for the following end-of-life (EOL) hardware:

• HPE Synergy Composer (1st gen)

I didn't know that my Composer was EoL and I can't find that information anywhere on their site. 

Does anybody have a link to the EoL information?

Thanks.

-Mike

The HPE Synergy Composer (1st gen) was EOL in November 2019.   It was discontinued for sale in March of 2020.  It continues to be supported through December 2023.  If I find a place where we keep EOL/discontinued info I'll come back and post it.

We can find the EOS information here, but not specific about Composer.

That's the statement from the HPE OneView perspective.  This one is from the HPE Synergy Composer (1st gen) perspective:
