HP Configuration Management (aka Radia for Server) version 5.1 for UNIX platforms

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is announcing the discontinuance of Configuration Management (CM, aka RfS) all versions on HPUX, Solaris and AIX platforms. HP is committed to providing the highest level of customer care to you while you determine your future strategy for your CM products, and will provide support as indicated by the dates listed below.

This announcement is not applicable to Windows and Linux platforms.

HP recently completed the acquisition of Opsware, a leading provider of software that automates the management of servers, network devices, storage and applications for Data Center environments.

There is an overlap between the functionality offered by the CM Server Management products and those from Opsware. HP Software has decided to make the HP Server Automation software, formerly known as Opsware Server Automation System, the go-forward solution for server management. Because of the decision to lead with HP Server Automation for server management, the support for UNIX platforms (defined as HPUX, Solaris and AIX) as managed server devices will enter an obsolescence and migration program.
