Re: Power 8 EOS

Yes but just because the UAK goes out it will not stop you from using your system, just no support.

HW maintenance can be contracted through non-IBM hardware maintenance outfits if you wish. IBM will not provide HW support any longer, including software fixes.

So, just curious with the Power 8 EOS announcement, does that mean that I
won't be paying for Hardware maintenance any more and I won't be able to
get new firmware keys rendering the hardware unusable? Or will I just be
unable to get hardware support if something fails.

I do plan on updating hardware.. just thinking of waiting for power 11. Or
move to the cloud if that's viable.
