DESCRIPTION
The HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family is scheduled to begin its End of Life (EOL) process on 12 June 2017. This process has multiple stages, which are described below. This announcement has been provided to help customers understand the various stages of the EOL process and its impact on ordering, product availability, and other important dates.
DETAILS
Product Description and Definitions
In December 2012, HPE Storage introduced the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family, which are built on HPE ProLiant Gen8 technology and powered by HPE LeftHand OS.
All models of the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family will be entering the EOL process simultaneously. Previous generations of the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family (HPE P4000 G1/G2) have already progressed through the EOL process.
End of Life and Lifecycle Event Definitions
- End of Life Announcement(EOL-A): Refers to the EOL announcement date and any accompanying documents (for example, a customer notice pertaining to the EOL process from EOL-A through to the end of support life (EOSL) period).
- End of Life (EOL): Used generically to describe the whole process from EOL-A to EOSL. The EOL-A date represents the beginning of the EOL process and defines the date from which other EOL phases will begin to track from.
- Discontinuance (DISC): Orders placed after this date will be accepted and fulfilled based on factory inventory availability.
- Obsolescence (OBSO): Last day to purchase a SKU (hardware or software), acceptance of order subject to factory availability prior to OBSO. At the OBSO date, SKUs are physically removed from the HPE Price Lists and ordering systems.
- End of Support Life (EOSL): HPE Support for the EOL products and any associated SKUs will end on this date. Typically, five years past the OBSO date.

HPE LeftHand Operating System
HPE recommends upgrading to the latest LeftHand OS version to make use of the latest features and enhancements. Currently, LeftHand OS version 12.7 is the latest operating system release available for HPE StoreVirtual 4000 platforms. During the EOL process, the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 roadmap will enter into a "support/sustaining" phase, where NO new features or functions are planned for this product family. Critical fixes will be provided through patches or a new LeftHand OS release only in an emergency situation, based on the severity of the fix or patch. HPE will maintain at least one active LeftHand OS version supporting the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family through the End of Support Life (EOSL) date.
Interoperability support of the HPE StoreVirtual 4000 product family with host operating systems and iSCSI/FC host bus adapters is maintained in the
HPE StoreVirtual 4000 Compatibility Matrix
. This matrix will not be expanded once the product enters the DISC period.
Replacement Products and Transitions
Customers can continue to purchase HPE StoreVirtual 4000 SKUs until they reach the obsolescence (OBSO) phase. Customers should be aware that any orders for EOL SKUs placed after the discontinuance (DISC) date will only be accepted and fulfilled based on material availability. Customers should plan their last buy activities BEFORE the DISC date of 31 July 2017 to ensure acceptance and availability. There are no new generations of HPE StoreVirtual 4000 appliance planned.
Customers are encouraged to contact their HPE representative or an HPE partner for appropriate guidance selecting a new platform which will best meet their needs.
