Using USB CD/DVD Devices

USB CD/DVD devices are not supported for use as attachable media, and perform slowly when used as virtual devices. HP Integrity blade, rx3600, and rx6600 servers with such devices should use Virtual FileDVDs or Ignite-UX for guest operating system installations. Hardware supportability requirements for Integrity VM are described in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.

To identify USB CD/DVD devices, use the ioscan -fun command.
