When getting media to use for the DVD based backups of the HMC, does anyone have a recommendation on what to buy? It looks like it requires DVD-RAM media, but is the 4.7gb 2-3x speed media that we use for our Model 520 DVD drives usable in the HMC? I found the following item on IBM's site: DVD-RAM Media for Use with the HMC Technote The HMC uses very specific DVD media. The only compatible format is DVD-RAM. While standards vary, this document contains a list of IBM part numbers for media that can be used to for Critical Console Data or to record service information for problem determination. 19P0488 2.6 GB* Single-sided Media 19P0860 2.6 GB* Single-sided Media (5-pack) 19P0484 4.7 GB* Single-sided Media 19P0862 4.7 GB* Single-sided Media (5-pack) 19P0485 5.2 GB* Double-sided Media 19P0861 5.2 GB* Double-sided Media (5-pack) 19P0490 9.4 GB* Double-sided Media 19P0863 9.4 GB* Double-sided Media (5-pack) 19P0489 DVD Cleaning Kit For additional DVD-RAM media or DVD-RAM cleaning kits, refer to the following Web site or contact the appropriate distributor for your location.
