  • 1.  How to validate VIO specific version life cycle.

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi Team,

    Can you please suggest any link or URL which can help to see the lifecycle of particular VIOs version.

    We have following version running in the environment 3.1.3.10 , 3.1.4.21 and 3.1.4.41. Can we check which version is out of support or in support.

    We have one link but didn't see the end of support information for those VIOS version. May be I am missing something. Let me know in case additional details required.

    While IBM views EOS and EoFS as different I would use PowerVM VIOS Lifecycle Information as the key page. 

    These pages might also be of interest:
    IBM Software Support Services - Service Extension for IBM PowerVM VIOS 3.1.4 
    End of marketing and end of support: Miscellaneous IBM Power Software

    I would suggest upgrading to 4.1.1.

    I am surprised your VAR did not contact you around their business opportunity to assist you with your VIOS 3 to 4 migration. I know mine did.

    Note support for IBM products can be region specific. While this is mostly hardware from what I have seen you should make sure.
