end of support

[Dee_3]

Anyone know the eos for the HP 9000 Class E servers? I received a bulletin on the D, F, G, etc but the E part of the question was not answered...

Dee,
I'm not a hardware support type, but still did a quick check. I could not find the answer for this support life question on the E-class. I suggest checking with HP Support by logging a call case via the IT Resource Center to get the official answer.
Sorry this doesn't really help,

Thanks for at least replying! This seems to be a serious sore point at HP (something political in the background perhaps?) because I cannot get an answer from any of my HP contacts! Thought maybe the community would have some insight...

Hi,

Past posts suggest that the information you seek is not available to the public but is available on HP's internal network. Seems like such a simple thing, especially since the same information is published for HP-UX versions. Oh well,

Hopefully they will get off this information pretty soon - there are still a large number of those systems out there- and it would be nice to stop wandering around in the dark on this issue!

How does 31 May 2003 sound? Don't ask me my sources!

OUCH! That was the rumor I had heard too! Better get off the web and start working on that plan of action! :) Thanks...

Boat anchors anyone?

Methinks we are going to see people stockpiling E series spares somehow......

Good stable boxes - hard to see them go....
