Topic

This is the 30 day notification for the End of Production Phase 2 of
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.x.

Description

In accordance with the Red Hat Virtualization 3.x Support Life Cycle
Policy, support will end on September 30, 2017. Red Hat will not provide
extended support for the Red Hat Virtualization Manager (RHV-M) and Red Hat
Virtualization Host (RHV-H). Customers are requested to migrate to the
newer Red Hat Virtualization product prior to the end of the life cycle for
Red Hat Virtualization 3.x. After September 30, 2017, technical support
through Red Hat’s Global Support Services will no longer be provided, other
than assisting in upgrades. We encourage customers to plan their migration
from Red Hat Virtualization 3.x to the latest version of Red Hat
