HP decommissioning activities continue in OB7, with the final ds1/ds2 step expected. (The only remaining HP is ls1, and it may be targeted for OB7 replacement, as well.) The hardware architecture changes part of this work are described in a June 2004 NGIT presentation (with 10/06 architecture diagram updates), and OB7 hardware was to be finalized by 12 Aug.

Based on the 23 Jan 26 Apr 06 OB7.1/OB7.2 schedule...
