Subject: IBM 9393 RVAs "Obsolete" for Sure
Been running a pair of IBM 9393 RVA Storage Subsystems since the late
1990s
and they have been great; RAID-6, paid for, depreciated to $0 (not really,
we
are the US Gov't), and they work. We use them for testing, systems
builds,
etc, and nothing critical. It was getting a bit pricey to have them on a
maintenance contract though. Called up for maintenance last week to get
something minor fixed and IBM in the call, oh yes by the way, they will no
longer fix the RVAs after Jan 1, 2010.
Has anyone come across alternatives for maintenance.
thanks jim
Jim,
Since these boxes were also the STK Iceberg, you should contact Sun/STK for
maintenance.
Regards,
Tom Conley
