Deprecations

The following features are now deprecated and will be removed from CSM in a future release.

  • CAPMC v1 partial deprecation
  • HSM v1 interface
  • BOS v1 is now deprecated, in favor of BOS v2. BOS v1 will be removed from CSM in the CSM-1.9 release.
    • It is likely that even prior to BOS v1 being removed from CSM, the Cray CLI will change its behavior when no version is explicitly specified in BOS commands. Currently it defaults to BOS v1, but it may change to default to BOS v2 even before BOS v1 is removed from CSM.

See Deprecated features.
