information, see Table 1.
End of support
HP WBEM Services will no longer support new features and enhancements on HP-UX 11i v1 and
HP-UX 11i v2. Only critical defects and security issues will be addressed on the HP-UX 11i v1 and
HP-UX 11i v2 platforms.
This end of support is effective from the following dates:
• HP WBEM Services on HP-UX 11i v1 - September 2009 AR
• HP WBEM Services on HP-UX 11i v2 - March 2011 AR
IMPORTANT:
• Defect fixes are not delivered on major versions of HP WBEM Services that are past the EOS
date.
A major version release of HP WBEM Services is when the digits after the second decimal
point in the version string are updated. For example, version A.02.09 is a major release after
A.02.07. A minor version release is when the digit after the third decimal point in the version
string is updated. For example, A.02.09.02 is a minor version of the major version A.02.09.
• Support is provided for the latest and the previous major version of HP WBEM Services on
an operating system version, until support is stopped for the operating system version itself.
When a new major version of WBEM Services is released, support for the older version is
stopped. At any point of time, support for two major versions of the HP WBEM Services is
provided on each supported operating system version. For example, when the next major
version of HP WBEM Services on 11i v3 is released, support will be provided only for the
new major version and the A.02.09 version.
• Defects found in the minor versions of HP WBEM Services are fixed in the next minor version.
For example, defects found in version A.02.07.02 or earlier are fixed in version A.02.07.04.
