I would like to know procedures to mount/umount the usb key in the switch, I found some commands in the ROM mode, but they are not really usefull as I don't know the device name, etc.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYou simply insert the USB flash drive and access it via "dir" or 'copy run usb', etc. at regular switch prompt (exec or privexec).
The switch code release notes do a good job of describing more commands for its use, etc.
I have had a few (very few) flash drives not work.
Get this CLI ref guide, it shows how to configure HP ProVision, HP Comware5 and Cisco switches for lots of different functions, in a side-by-side comparison, so if you know one CLI, you see how to do it in a different CLI:
http://h10144.www1.hp.com/docs/training/HP-Networking-and-Cisco-CLI-Reference-Guide_June_10_WW_Eng_ltr.pdf
chapters 1,3,4 in this CLI guide have info about using the usb.

Re: Procurve switch USB drive.
You will say ... ehmmm why you don't simply plug it into your pc's USB and do it there..., the switch is in a remote location with really limited access for the people there. So I want to save a LOT of time by trying this, I also saw the format command in ROM but ...I don't know how to use it, as well as the mount.
Thanks,

Re: Procurve switch USB drive.
From the manual:
"Operating rules and restrictions on USB usage are:
├в Unformatted USB flash drives must first be formatted on a PC (Windows FAT format). For devices with multiple partitions, only the first partition is supported. Devices with secure partitions are not supported."
I've not looked at the low-level possibilities, but I have always been told the drive must be formatted like the docs say.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Re: Procurve switch USB drive.
No regular command available...only 'copy'..
Its mainly used for "putting" and "getting" not formatting or deleting...
I'm still no help...sorry...

Re: Procurve switch USB drive.
From ROM you can perform those actions, you can "format cf" for the system flash, or "format usb" for usb ... so, now it is documented here !
