After installation of HP-UX i changed my mouse to a normal 3-button USB
mouse with mouse wheel.
But the wheel does not work? How can i activate it.

Please suggest how can I use my USB mass storage device in HP-UX.

iirc usb mass storage is unsupported under hpux. there is support for
usb dvd drives, perhaps enough came along for the ride to make usb
mass storage "work" but it is not "supported" of course ux may not
have support for the various filesystems you may find...

On HP-UX 11i v2, I see this. Doesn't enable USB mass storage ?

When I last spoke with UX development engineers on the topic of USB
mass storage, it was in the context of being able to attach a
pen-drive to a system running UX. At the time, I was told that the
USB mass storage work done was to enbale installs from and access to a
USB connected DVD drive.

In HPspeak, there is a distinction between "works" and "supported"

Supported, known to work -> warm fuzzies all around
Supported, not known to not work -> an HPite may be in trouble
Supported, known to not work -> an HPite is in trouble
Unsupported, known to work -> lucky today, unlucky tomorrow?
Unsupported, not known to not work -> there but for the grace of Turing
Unsupported, known to not work -> no, it was not deliberate ;-)

Broadly speaking, something is "supported" in HP-UX only if it is
tested. My understanding is that the test plan did not extend beyond
the DVD, so anything else would be in the "unsupported" category.

Now, as it was some time ago (perhaps as long as two years) I could be
recalling things a little off, or it could be that the support matrix
for USB "thingies" was expanded.

And if "support" for USB mass storage is important to folks, then it
is very important that they feed that into HP through official
channels - their sales rep, reseller and/or the Response Centre.

It is always the warn and fuzzies they want...
