Surya,
as far as I know the only USB device supported is a USB mouse, sorry.

Peter's half right - he forgot USB keyboard. But a USB pen drive will not work.

Hi Susee,

Yes, It is possible to connect USB drive to your HP-UX in 11.23. But it is not supported by HP.

Hi Arun.,

Whats about Zip drive....Give me the steps

[Torsten.]

Some documentation is talking about a generic and basic USB support in combination with Integrity servers and HP-UX 11.23.

You can try to connect your device, but I guess this won't work.

"USB-00 delivers a new subsystem for dynamically managing USB device special files. The Device File System is not enabled by default, but you can optionally enable it by referring to product documentation (see the following â Documentationâ section)."

Hi Susee,

You need to specify what type of ZIP drive you have ? Whether a USB or something else ?

Hi Susee,

I am sure, it is not supported in HP-UX. Can you check your manufacturer's compatibility matrix for OS support ?
