Re: USB Optical on Power 7+ V7R1

Forget the PC.. I just use a USB stick. (128GB in my case) All the PTF
groups for all three currently supported systems plus all the LPPs fit
there.

But 4TB? that's a bit much and would take days to copy.

We do something similar for PTFs-- "Download to PC" using gui/browser
interface, directly to drive mapped to the IFS...

4TB is going to be a bunch of downloading!

Would this work.
Map a drive to the root.
Plug the USB into your PC.
From your PC, copy / paste the folder from the mapped drive to the USB
drive.

How to tell what capacity limits there are for saving files (image files)
to a USB for V7R1.
I've read multiple docs (IBM and others) - some mention a 32gb limit
others don't.
IBM doc
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/
wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20Removable%20Media%20on%
20IBM%20i/page/Attaching%20USB%20Flash%20Drives%20to%20IBM%20i
has a comment from user at end "For USB 3.0 devices the 32GB max capacity
restriction was removed with 7.2 PTF MF63610 and 7.3 PTF MF63611".

The current 7.1 to 7.2 ptf cross reference has no 7.1 version of MF63610.

We need to move 4.6TB of images (approx. 1 million) to diff kind of system
(unix or win) across the country and our network people won't let us xmit
that much. We did get approved to use USB..
Other option is to copy to local win...
