how to find USB device is enabled or not?

[R.K. #]

The HP-UX 11.23 USB driver can work for mice and keyboards.

As far as I know, it doesn't support any kind of storage devices.

Also have a look here:

Hi,

It supports DVD and CD.
And in EFI shell you can access usb thumb drive also.

Depending on the OS version it detects like

with USB 1.1 driver -- it will detect as /dev/devicefilesystem.....
with USB 2.0 driver -- it will detect as normal cxtxdx
