  • 1.  USB 3.0 Keys for mksysb AIX 7.2, 7.3 Power 8, Power 9

    Posted Wed November 08, 2023 11:38 AM

    Good Day, 

    I'm trying to use mksysb on a usb 3.0 key. 

    I see that the device is there

    eowyn:~> lsdev |grep usb
    usb0       Available             USB System Software
    usbhc0     Available 03-00       Integrated USB 3.0 xHCI Adapter (4c1041821410b204)
    usbms0     Available 0.6         USB Mass Storage

    But when I try a basic mksysb command 

    eowyn:~> mksysb /dev/usbms0

    Creating list of files to back up.

    Can't open device : Cannot establish a connection to a remote service.
    Format failed.

    Cannot establish a connection to a remote service.
    Can not create.

    0512-011 mksysb: The /usr/sbin/udfcreate command failed with return code of 50.
            Backup canceled.

    So then I try to format it

    eowyn:~> udfcreate -d /dev/usbms0
    Can't open device : Cannot establish a connection to a remote service.
    Format failed.

    This works on using older keys. Is there something about usb 3.0?

    Tried on Aix 7.2, and 7.3 same result. 

    Thanks

    Robert

    Hi Steve,

     

    No, I am afraid not.
