New in Support Plus!
HP would like to remind you that HP-UX Predictive end of support was June 30, 2003 and end of service is April 1, 2004.
Starting April 1, 2004, the Predictive tool on HP-UX systems will be configured to shut itself down. After the tool is shut down,
no more events from your system will be sent to HP.

To ensure your HP-UX systems receive continuous remote monitoring support, HP highly encourages all HP-UX Predictive
Support customers to migrate to HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE), HP's next generation remote support solution.

HP ISEE is a single, common remote support solution that lets you manage diverse environments, spanning from simple
environments to complex mission critical environments. By providing a single remote support solution for multiple operating
systems and devices, ISEE can help eliminate the need for you to manage multiple support tools across your IT environment,
t hus reducing complexity and support cost.

HP ISEE uses continuous hardware event monitoring and automated notification, to proactively identify and prevent potential
critical problems. Through remote diagnostic scripts and vital configuration information collected, HP ISEE enables fast restoration
of supported systems, storage and network devices.

Start using ISEE today, so that you can reap the benefits of HP's next generation remote support solution. Don't let your HP-UX
systems go without remote monitoring support. HP ISEE A.03.00 is available on the March release of the Support Plus media for
installation as the bundle ISEEPlatform within the HPUXAuxTools directory. ISEE can also be downloaded from www.software.hp.com
by selecting Instant Support Enterprise Edition under the "internet ready and networking" section or under the "Featured Products" section.
For more information on ISEE, visit http://www.hp.com/hps/hardware/hw_enterprise.html

If you have HP mission critical or select network support services, contact your Hewlett-Packard account support team to determine the
appropriate remote support solution for your environment.

This information is communicated to you as a reminder only. YOu will find the HP-UX 11i v1 Support Plus
media content is in the December 03 release.
