---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 21:23:15 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RaQ3-End Of Life Updates The following excerpt of a message from my contact at Sun should be of interest to RaQ owners. Please see the additional comments at the end of this message: As far a RaQ3 and updates. After a product is brought to End of Life, there will be one last major update that is done. This is scheduled for the July/August timeframe for the RaQ3. There will continue to be security updates to the product for 18 months from the time that Sun Cobalt stopped selling the product. We don't plan on leaving customers hung out to dry without any updates or support. If you have specific items that you would like to see addressed in any of the products, I am the right person to send them to. My group is responsible for doing these updates. One item of note. Sun Cobalt will normally not do any feature enhancements or system updates to a product after the last update, only security updates. The exception on the RaQ3 is the backup/recovery feature. There is currently a patch in testing to add working vendor backup for Legato, Veritas, and Arkeia. A product team is working to fix the Cobalt Native backup as well. We are aware of the issues surrounding the backup feature and are working to fix it. You mentioned that 'RaQ3/4 owners are "stuck" with the existing GUI and it's many problems.' Please quantify the problems and I will try and address if we plan to include fixes in the next scheduled update. I can not tell you that they will be fixed as part of the last update. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So, now's the chance to get your requests in. From the way I read the email, the most important ones are things that are broken, and the next priority would be things that are nice to have. I'm willing to submit the items to Sun...but they should: A. Be well documented B. Indicate whether it's a fix or a nice to have C. emailed to me Please restrict the items to RaQ3 only(or those items that are common to all RaQs For those that submitted earlier...the text file I created was eaten in one of those "hard drive events"...sorry.
