UNSOLVED
EOSL aka End of Service Life
I searched this forum for a comment on EOSL... I didnt find one, so thought I would at least kick off the discussion.As I remove the water from the tea leaves... I see... EOSL in our present and future... we know that thousands upon thousands of our customers are still running on Networker v7.x... I hope that you will review Networker 8.x and find the niche that inspires you to go forward.
I believe in the toys in our toy chest, I am not in sales, I am however an evangelist... /grin
Plan today, implement tomorrow, squash a couple bugs and coast on to easy street.
Please contact your local rep for any questions/assistance in your planning.
Semper fidelis, /ALE

NetWorker EOSL doc is on powerlink under
This appears to be visible to both customer's and partners, and I don't see anything that says "confidential" anywhere.
Not clear to me why this isn't available on support.emc.com.

Good call Hrvoje.
It seems odd that it isn't part of the docs, near the compatibility guides.
I think I hadn't seen it before because the "Release and End of Life Dates"
popup window doesn't display properly with Firefox, at least for me.
It is a bit confusing that the "NetWorker Release and EOL" doc only shows
NetWorker, but not any of the modules. The EMC Software doc has everything
though.
Thanks for the followup reply!

Modules have their own product page and they also have the document just as NetWorker (core agent) does.
It would be more correct to say that module release like NMM will be released with any major patch release (SP) due to dependency of PowerSnap module (NSM now in NW) and release build will identify minimum version of core agent to work with that module. For example, 8.1SP1 tree got GAed during 8.1.1.2 and so did NMM 3.0SP1 and they both had build 280. That doesn't mean you can't use build 289 of NetWorker (8.1.1.3) with it of course. This does not apply to other modules (NMDA and NMSAP).

That's really quite useful. Thanks for the FYU Hrvoje!
Good to know about compatibility info per product page. I'll make sure to
point customers to that in the future.

True and one of the cool things is…
Starting with networker 8.1.1.Build280
The compatible modules will have the same release number as the networker server build they are compatible with… Meaning NMM 280 marries up with 8.1.1.build280.
Much better…
