USB Memory stick access from VMS
I see with OpenVMS v7.3-2 there is a USB manager USM utility. Here you can add devices that could be plugged in to the USB port. If I plug a memory stick into the USB port, will VMS see it ?
With regards
Andrew

Re: USB Memory stick access from VMS
Hi Andrew,
there was a long thread about this in the C.O.V. Newsgroup in March.
Fred Kleinsorge from OpenVMS Engineering immediately answered with the following:
Do you have a requirement for one?
We have some code, but it isn't shipping or supported. By letting us know
that there are real customer requirements, we can determine if it is worth
qualifying the logic and supporting it.
So you could promote that this feature gets a higher implementation priority by contacting your OpenVMS Rep about your need.
The C.O.V. Thread is on Google here...

It may be supported in V8.2

Re: USB Memory stick access from VMS
Completely unsupported, of course.
The previous comment remains -- if a paying customer needs it, HP will be interested in supporting it. If it's just for hobbyist use, they might release some un-supported freeware eventually.

Re: USB Memory stick access from VMS
A similar demonstration was performed at the VMS Advanced Technical Bootcamp

Re: USB Memory stick access from VMS
The issue remains that all the cool USB gizmos will need a business case before they get supported status.
Since HP doesn't make memory sticks for servers, it would seem doubtful...

It costs money to support stuff. These days, nothing comes free, so please keep those cards coming...

On the other hand, the concept of a service engineer being able to walk onto a site with a USB pen drive dangling from his ID badge, plug it in and boot a random system to a known, useable state is VERY attractive. All kinds of interesting possibilities there.
On my third hand, this might scare some customers, as it has interesting implications for system crackers too.

'On my third hand, this might scare some customers, as it has interesting implications for system crackers too. '
VMS is always and only 'crackable' if you have -PHYSICAL- access to the machine. So there is no difference in this case. You can also replace the real systemdrive whith you're own and put the original in another slot etc.

Re: USB Memory stick access from VMS
Yes, interesting. But a full-loaded DVD with VMS and hardware tools isn't too big...
