Is this still true? In particular, is it supported for attachment of an "enclosure-wide" DVD/CD drive?
The second "in particular" is; Is this supported on OpenVMS??

Re: USB port on OA
If you are running the OA version 2.20 or later.
Is this still true? NO
In particular, is it supported for attachment of an "enclosure-wide" DVD/CD drive?
Yes. it is Supported.
The second "in particular" is; Is this supported on OpenVMS??
I have not tried it. Think it should work fine.

Re: USB port on OA
Is there any particular DVD Make/Type or Model that I should look for, and is there anything I need to know about setting it up?
I noticed that assignment of the DVD to specific device bays can be done through the Insight Screen. I also noted that there is a link for "DVD Drive" under enclosure settings, although it seems that there must be a drive attached before this link works.
Dave.

Re: USB port on OA
The c3000 DVD drive is built in and the c7000 DVD drive is connected externally using a USB connector.
For the c3000, the Multibay II DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive with part number PA850A can be used without a cradle.
For the c7000, the USB DVD is used with a cradle. The cradle must be purchased and connected before using the drive. The Multibay II Cradle part number is PA509A, and the DVD/CD-RW Combo drive for use with the cradle is part number PA850A.
Yes you need to Connect the DVD drive with Media in it. Otherwise the Device bays or DVD drive page doesn't give option to connect to the server.
Most of the External DVD's work fine. I used a LG DVD drive it worked Fine.

Re: USB port on OA
I am looking to use this drive for installing the OS on my blades, so can the DVD be used as a "boot" device??
thanks in advance (and for your help so far)
Dave
