    Need some info please. Is there a matrix that lists all IBM Series AIX 5.x/6.x capable machines (specific machine designations) that support USB input/output devices (kybd, mouse, CD/DVD and flash drives)? Or if it's easier, is there a matrix that lists those that don't?

    I'm essentially (really) looking for a cookbook method to disable data xfers from the system disk(s) to CD/DVD/Flash Drive media. Backups are not an issue since the systems/data in question are mirrored and Veritas or other apps are used for data backup and restore.

    Does smit/smitty support device disabling the above and are the actual cmdline cmds available via the smit log file?

    Really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
