You don't. yet...

You could perhaps mount in on a LINUX box export it, and then NFS mount it on the AIX side?

I'm sure IBM could do it if they wanted as the blades have usb attached cdrom (which is why it's so slow). Other Vendors HP / SUN allow admins to mount USB keys and you can mount on USB on HMC. But It could also be argued that it's a security risk...

Well there are USB diskette and CD-DVD (in all different flavours) drives also for the p5 so... security risk? I don't think that is the reason behind not providing USB memory key support.
