USB Laufwerk unter 7.1

[as400frischling]

Hallo Forengemeinde.


Wir wollten auf unserer neuen AS400 Model 720, ein USB Laufwerk anschließen, und testen ob dieses funktioniert.

Folgende Vorraussetzungen wurden erfüllt: PTF-Gruppe SF99707 + zugehörige PTFs, wurden installiert.


In der Nachrichtenwarteschlange vom QSYSOPR, erscheint folgende Fehlermeldung:
*Achtung* Möglicherweise muss die Hardware gewartet werden.

Mt DSPPRB erhalte ich folgende Informationen:

Fehlernachrichten-ID . . . . . . : CPPEA01
Art des Problems . . . . . . . . : Von der Maschine erkannt
Problemkategorie . . . . . . . . : *REPORT
Datum und Uhrzeit des Erkennens . : 12.06.14 15:58:28
Systemreferenzcode . . . . . . . : SRC57D33400
Typ der Berichtseinheit . . . . . : 57D3
Modell . . . . . . . . . . . . : 001

Das Laufwerk wurde unter Windows, mit dem Dateisystem UDF formatiert, und an an ein USB-Verlängerungskabel angeschlossen, welches zum hinteren Anschluss der AS400 führt.

Was hat dieser Referenzcode zu bedeuten?



Danke

Tja, IBM ist da auch nicht hilfreich: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/IntellistationPOWER/p7eai/57D33400.htm?lang=en

Ich danke euch beiden für eure Antworten.

Ich habe durch meine heutigen Recherchen, eure Links schon gefunden.

Leider haben sie mir nicht weitergeholfen.


Das Problem tritt nicht beim ausstecken, sondern beim einstecken der USB Geräte auf.

Kann es sein, dass wir das PTF MF56014 nachinstallieren müssen? Wenn ja: Ist dieses nicht im PTF MF99007 enthalten?

[Fuerchau]

Vielleicht wird UDF ja nicht unterstützt, versuche es mal mit FAT32 oder NTFS.

[TARASIK]

Das MF56014 wurde ersetzt durch das MF99008.

Vielleicht wird UDF ja nicht unterstützt, versuche es mal mit FAT32 oder NTFS.

Leider unterstützt die IBM nur das UDF Format. NTFS ist ja ein Dateisystem für Windows Rechner, und über FAT32 konnte ich in der Dokumentation auch nichts finden.

Hier ein Auszug aus der Dokumentation:


IBM i uses the industry standard UDF protocol, so data interchange can be done with other operating systems that use UDF format

Das MF56014 wurde ersetzt durch das MF99008.

Hallo Tarasik. Wir haben nur das MF99007, da wir Technology Refresh 7 installiert haben. Reicht es aus, wenn wir das MF56014 installieren, ohne das MF99008?

[TARASIK]

Hallo,
das MF99008 sollte auf jeden Fall installiert werden. Hier noch ein paar gute

Attaching USB Flash Drives to IBM i

USB flash drives
BM i 7.1 with Technology Refresh 6 (TR6) on POWER7+ and POWER7 systems support the use of USB attached flash drives for both direct attach and iVirtualization configurations (where IBM i is serving I/O to a virtual client IBM i partition, or where IBM i is a virtual client of an IBM i partition).

Flash drives, also referred to as memory keys or thumb drives, are very small pluggable devices that do not have removable media. A single flash drive can hold a large amount of data that would otherwise have needed multiple DVDs, and can typically access the data much faster. On IBM i, they are "optical class" devices whose main purpose is data movement such as IFS copy, Save/Restore operations directly to/from the device, or D-mode IPLs. Due to lack of reliability of flash drives in general, they are not recommended as backup devices; however, they are very handy and useful for these types of operations:
Copying a file (in other words, PTF fix, database file, spooled file) from one IBM i partition to another.
Copying a file from an IBM i partition to another type of system, for example, a Windows 7 or Apple PC.
Copying a mainstore dump and other debug info from an IBM i partition and taking it to another partition, or even a PC, to send it in to IBM service.
Installing PTFs, or an XPF application.*
ISV software distribution.
Performing a D-Mode IPL.
If using the USB drive as a Alternate IPL device (D-Mode), then the USB adapter is tagged as the load source adapter.* This is very similar to tagging the SAS/SATA IOA for IPL from DVD). For example, a USB adapter would show up as :
"U78AB.001.WIH000M-P1-T5**** Universal Serial Bus UHC Spec"
Use as an alternative to sending files over a network, if your network is constrained.

The USB ports on POWER7 and POWER7+ system units can be used for flash drives; however, USB ports on PCIe adapters are not supported. All POWER7 and POWER7+ system units are therefore supported, except the Flex ITEs (because they are supported through VIOS only) and the Power 795 (because there is no USB port in the system unit).

There are no IBM Power Systems features available for USB flash drives. IBM does not qualify and does not recommend any particular device. The intent is to provide generic support for a USB 2.0 device (up to 32 GB in capacity) so that the USB flash vendor of choice may be used. IBM i uses the industry standard UDF protocol, so data interchange can be done with other operating systems that use UDF format. Performance varies from device to device, but ranges of 1 to 4 MB/S for IFS writes are typical.* If a particular vendor's flash drive does not work, it may not comply with the USB interface specifications, and a different vendor's drive should be tried.

Hardware Prerequisite: POWER7+ and POWER7 systems which should be running the latest System firmware
Software Prerequisite: IBM i V7R1 with Technology Refresh 6 or higher installed (PTF Group SF99707 Level 6 or higher)
Setting up the device description for the USB Flash Drive
1. Enable the automatic configuration:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1')
2. Plug the USB flash drive into any of the supported USB ports of your POWER7 or POWER7+ Server.
3. After you plug in the USB flash drive, you will see these messages being logged into the *SYSOPR message queue:
CPC2630 - Automatic configuration created device description RMSxx.
CPC2605 - Vary on completed for device RMSxx.
OPT1410 - Volume 130326175747 added to optical device.

Hallo,
das MF99008 sollte auf jeden Fall installiert werden.

Hallo Tarasik. Warum sollen wir das MF99008 installieren? Wäre das nicht das PTF für TR8?

Denn laut meiner Recherche, reicht es aus wenn wir das MF56014 installieren.
