The supported Alletra Witness Host OS goes EOL in 5 months, what is the replacment?

[jheaton]

Just starting the process of installing a new Alletra 5010 group and need to configure a witness server.

The supported OS according to the documentation is CentOS 7 but this goes End of Life in 5 months so is a no go due to compliancy (supported OS's only).  What is the official supported replacement by HPE?

We got the update from engineering that they are already looking into this and will provide it after completing the verification and qualification.

In the meantime, the only supported OS will be CentOS 7 till further notice. We do understand your concern and very soon there will be an update on this.
