Effective 19 June 2016, IBM will withdraw support for firmware level 6.0 and 6.0.1 on the following WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances:

  • XG45 (7198-32X, 2426-32X/33X)

Note: Standard firmware support (all releases) for the XI50 Blade (MTM 4195-4BX) ends 4/30/2015. See IBM WebSphere DataPower Appliance Support Lifecycle and announcement letter 914-067 for more information.

Customers running firmware level 6.0 or 6.0.1 (or any earlier level) are advised to plan to upgrade to the latest supported releases of WebSphere DataPower firmware in order to continue receiving technical support, as well as proactively avoiding problems that are already resolved. Refer to Supported Firmware versions and recommended upgrade levels for more information.

IBM recommends that users consider applying the 7.0 or 7.1 latest fixpack version (or later) of the firmware. Of course, in the case of upgrading firmware for any critical embedded system, IBM recommends that users test their configurations and surrounding applications before moving into production.
