Migration questions

HPE's end-of-life bulletin names 4 successor part numbers as the recommended migration path for the HPE MSR Modules. The exact wording and any per-part-number mapping are in the linked bulletin.
Is the HPE MSR Modules end of life?
HPE support for the HPE MSR Modules ended Dec 2023. Unsupported units need a plan. Full lifecycle dates by part number: https://eosl.ai/system/hpe-msr-modules/.
Is there a per-part-number replacement mapping for the MSR Modules?
Yes. The bulletin maps replacements at the part-number level for 4 SKUs (for example JF281A → JG186A). The full table is on this page.
Do I have to buy the HPE-recommended replacement?
No. The bulletin's named successor is HPE's suggested path, not an obligation. Teams also keep MSR Modules units running under third-party maintenance after the support cutoff, migrate to a different vendor, or run low-criticality units to failure with the risk documented. See the support-options guide for the trade-offs.
