USB hard disk drives in HP-UX for dummies

Peetu — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:11:51 GMT

In a nutshell, how would one set-up a USB disk drive in HP-UX? How to format the drive and how to set the LVM correctly up? I'm using the HP-UX version B11.00.

I'm quessing just plugging in an ext2 formatted drive will not work?

Thanks

Hi Peetu,

On HPUX 11.0 USB drives are not supported. Only on the latest OS (11.31), there is limited support for USB drives.
