Re: Power 10 alt ipl from RDX via USB

that explains why they can't be ordered...
i'll assume once in a release (V7R5) and hardware version P10, it will
continue working.
Thanks

According to this doc - it is supported (with later firmware)

but question from customer is - the ibm drive is supposedly hard to get

or

cannot be ordered, but customer has Tandberg 3.0 RDX (which they say is

the

manufacturer of IBM's) and working well on a Power 9. I've often avoided
non IBM primary save device, but anyone have experience (good or bad)

with

Tandberg's RDX.? This is a tiny system with minimum backup needs and has
been on RDX for years.
