RE: USB/DVD Power 9

And I specifically was referring to USB sticks, which I use all the time
now.

RDX is slightly different but not significantly so.

Jim, He's talking about the USB DVD Drive, not an RDX dock, but yes, DVD
drives are external now or just use the USB stick for install (in the rare
case where IBM i is the only LPAR, I've been using USB to install VIOS for
the last couple of years).

Best Regards,

Roberto

Any USB will work. It might have to be formatted by and IBM system,
although with P9 I have not checked. It uses a UDF that makes it look
like an optical device (found under /QOPT) when you use it.

After it's formatted any PC can read/write to it.

Yes, exactly that. Doesn't appear to be anything special about it.
Model GP70N from Hitachi-LG Portable DVD drive. Complete with an IBM
Power Systems sticker on it!

Can you clarify? It is a separate drive enclosure?
Dongle kinda thing? Hooks up to the USB port?
