2.4 Active/inactive support for P6000 management and replication software This table identifies which versions of P6000 management and replication software are active and inactive. Because the active/inactive designations become effective in November 2009, there are multiple versions that list the same inactive date. Active and inactive are defined as: - Active: An active version has full Engineering support. Issues are addressed and patches can be provided. - Inactive: An inactive version has limited Engineering support. Customers will be requested to move to an active version. Engineering is available for consultation but lab resources are not available to address issues. The escalation path for an issue on an inactive version is limited. The oldest active software version goes inactive approximately six months after a new version is released. For example, if the current active versions are 8.0, 9.0.1, and 9.1, 8.0 goes inactive six months after 9.1 is released. NOTE: When a version of HP P6000 Command View goes inactive, the same version of HP Command View EVAPerf, HP Storage System Scripting Utility, and HP SMI-S EVA also goes inactive.
