F5 - SOL10735: End of Software Development for BIG-IP version 9.x
Hi all,
we have couple of F5 LTM's that are currently running on either 9.0.5, 9.2.5 or 9.4.7 versions. As of March 31, 2011, F5 is no longer providing security updates, software fixes or consulting services for 9.x versions except 9.4.6-9.4.8which were extended till end of the year.
Next thing is that these F5s are BIG-IP 6400 (9.0.5, 9.2.5) and BIG-IP 1500 (9.4.7) platforms. 6400 platforms has also end of new software support 12/1/2011. We are also not sure if BIG-IPs 1500 are able to handle OS version 10.x.
What would be the best for us to do next?
Is it upgrading OS to version 10.x only or HW replacement as well?
And also what would be possible risks to keep HW/SW configuration as it is now?
Thank you
- jwham20NimbostratusThat's a tough one lukas. The best source for a response would probably be your area sales rep, as they would have good information on migration strategies and the platform life cycle.
