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.
