Hi,

Usb sticks/drives are not yet supported on HPUX. The USB ports on HPUX systems are only designed for keyboards and mouse.

Best regards,

Hi,
if by thumb drive you mean a USB pen storage, your best transfer is via the USB port onto a PC and then ftp from the PC to the HP box. Can you please that this is what you want to do?

Hi,

I think USB disks are not supported in HPUX, i guess it is possible with Linux,

Pls do post it in the forum once you get some solution .... ;-)

If you are running on HP-UX 11i on an Itanium Integrity System -- I think that is possibe as USB Support per the Release Notes is supposed to be always installed.

Hi

copy it to your PC and then ftp it to your HPUX server and install it.

On later versions of servers/HP-UX, if you see support for booting from USB, then accessing files on a USB drive _may_ fall into the "unsupported but not known to not work" category of "supported" vs "works" in HPspeak:

Supported, known to work -> warm fuzzies all around
Supported, not known to not work -> an HPite may be in trouble
Supported, known to not work -> an HPite is in trouble
Unsupported, known to work -> lucky today, unlucky tomorrow?
Unsupported, not known to not work -> there but for the grace of Turing
Unsupported, known to not work -> no, it was not deliberate ;-)

Copy your files to PC and do FTP to hp-ux

As several have already mentioned you can only access the thumb on a PC.
If you install (and configure) CIFS on your HP-UX box you can drag'n'drop from the thump on the PC to the share on HP-UX.
