    All,

    I have a question. Is it possible to mount a External (Sandisk) USB Thumb Drive on a p6 520 Server on the USB port. If so any idea what needs to be done to mount that one. I am running AIX5.3 With TL9. Do I need to install any fileset for that. Need a quick Answer.

    I heard this is supported on AIX 6.2. Access to USB flash drives. Not supported on earlier versions of AIX

    Hi -

    this is supported today with AIX 6.1 TL2.

    See "USB Flash Drive Support" in the release notes:

    Good Luck,

    Before you go any further I should point out that AIX does not support and filesystem on the memory key.
    For example FAT32
    So you can't use it to load files from a PC to AIX.
    You have to read/write is like a raw tape device i.e. backup, tar, cpio or dd but you can dd a .iso image and mount it on AIX.

    It does support AIX 5.3 TL09 - see announcement in other reply.

    Also don't use any old duff USB memory key - I recommend a new 4GB.
    Older slower USB memory key don't support the full standard - just enough to fool Windows!

    How this helps,N
