Usually I configure OPEN-E appliances to boot from internal USB keys (e.g. IBMs x3650 internal USB socket).
But in the last years I had several problems with "normal" USB keys, which were failing after months of use.
So I was looking for more stable USB keys.
Now I am testing industrial grade USB keys from Innodisk (product name: "Industrial Nano USB" on innodisk.com).
But I cannot boot DSS V7 from these devices in any server I have tested. The boot process hangs on 39%
with "Please enter root password or press Control-D to continue". I have tested it with V7 up11 and up12 on
several IBM x-Series an my home PC, so totally different hardware. And I have three of these USB keys.
Is there any hint, why these devices do not boot? I can provide OPEN-E support with one of my keys.
What is the size of the Industrial Nano USB? If less then 2GB then test with the DSS V6. We really dont suggest using a USB for any OS, SSD's have a longer life then the USB.
