Hi. When digging through HWU I noticed that ASA A250 released in 2023 got its EOL date - please see screenshot attached. Seriously NetApp? Or it was meant for other system? Even good ol' FAS2750 released in 2018 does not have its EOL date. Maybe it was meant for other system? We've just bought bunch of these systems and hoped that they will stay with us for 7-8 years... Not too early to cut them out?

Nope, it's correct. Here is the communique: https://mysupport.netapp.com/info/communications/CPC-00657.html
Can you explain why you did not order new ASA A20/A30 instead? Or was that before Februar?

that was in the middle/end of 2024(few batches)
well I guess we were unlucky...

Yeah that's unfortunate. Sometimes you can extend the support contract after the official EOS date via PVR.
But I guess in five years a new controller would make more sense.

thought that system released in 2023 will get little bit longer support. unfortunate

the ASA A250 (and AFF C250) is based on the A250 which was released in 2020, so they all get the same EOSL. 5 years past End of sale is standard.
