ESX Server guests and Local USB devices

Is this possible with ESX Server 3.5 to connect to a guest operating system and load a USB device as a card reader connected to your laptop remotely?  How if possible?

Is there a device that can be installed for the smart card reader, biometric readears, etc.. ??

To summarize how ESX allows a remote user to plug in a usb device locally and have ESX assign to the team desired vmware instance?

Thank you and sorry to be so green!

Green is in fashion now Kyle - get with the program!

MNANCE152 - doesn't this sound viable, or do you think you will have to take another route?  I'd be interested to hear what you come in the end, if you don't mind me posting it here.

Good luck!

  • How to sync analog & meter and two usb devices

    Hello

    What I want to do is synchronize the analog inputs and an entry on a device (USB-6009) meter and then synchronize this device to a different USB USB-9211.

    I had a quick glance at the Web site and there are a few articles to the knowledge base on how to do these operations independantely (IE synch and synchronization channel) but I'm not sure how to bring it all together. My concern is that the USB-6009 case has only a single meter (which double as the PFI?) and it is generally used for the signal synchronization on the slave device? Used to say that I won't be able to use the meter to measure input? The USB-9211 a there a PFI connection?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    See you soon!

    Hi David,

    If you want to synchronize and always stay USB, you will need to look at the chassis USB 4 9174.  With this, you can get a digital I/o module, for example the 9401, to interface with chassis backplane and synchronize the frame on another device like the 6009.  Another plus, it could ask, is that the bottom of basket 9174 meters integrated into the chassis, which have more capabilities than the meter 6009 and are accessible via the same DIO module that you use for synchronization.  This seems to be the best route to go because of the capabilities that you are looking for.

  • 5.5 ESXi USB devices and host.

    Hello community,

    I'm just trying to connect a TOUGH USB drive that is connected to the host to a guest operating system and failed!

    The USB device lists via 'lsusb' on the host, but I have no idea how to do to connect it to a guest.

    I got tired by the "Parameters" and "Add Hardware" through the vSphere client and the USB device does not appear!

    If I use the "Connect USB devices" button in vSphere client, I can only connect USB devices connected to the management station.

    Is it possible to connect USB devices connected to the host?

    I hope you can help me!

    Kind regards

    Matthias.

    I just follow advice of jkopp on the change of version vhardware th in thread 5.5 of the ESXi hypervisor free Web Console .

    I just changed to v9 and was able to add my USB HDD to the guest host, so if you have the same problem as me, just spent in HW version 9 and then, you are able to connect devices USB connected host!

    Kind regards

  • Need to add local storage on an ESX Server after installation

    Hello all-

    I made a mistake during the install\config of an ESX 3.5 Server earlier today and failed to set up a free partition space...  Now I have a working ESX Server with no local storage.  Is it possible that I can recover from it without having to rerun the installation?

    Thank you very much.

    Steve

    If access you the configuration/storage settings, you can add a data store.

    Wizard of datatstore should see your local drive and offer to use the entire disk or free space remaining to create a VMFS data store.

  • I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. I want to restore the folder on my computer

    I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. When I tried to open it, he couldn't. I want to restore the folder on my computer. I know there is a way to restore your computer in the last days, but can't remember how. Does anyone know how to do this? This is a very important video of my children.

    System Restore does NOT monitor and restore user data.  You cannot use the system restore to recover a folder deleted from videos created by the user.

    What is the error message you get when you try to open the file on the USB flash drive?  Please do not paraphrase.

    What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?  Do right click my computer and select Properties, if you are not sure.

    In the future, copy and paste files to and from USB devices rather cut and paste or 'move '.  Only delete the original after that you know that the copy is used.

  • USB device problems__

    Constantly, WIndows Media 11 slot Vista stopped working when I plugged a USB - for example mp3 player device. I tried an upgrade to Windows 7, but not difference. I'm afraid that all USB devices, I plugged after it initially happened now corrupted software - for example I can't download audio books from my local library because their software says my mp3 player is busy with another task. I have a meter to measure my blood sugar and a USB device, it can associate to download data. Now it won't, everything seems to hang on the counter and the USB device. Same thing happens today if I plug it into my laptop. All solutions?

    HI Tom,

    A. do you receive any error while the media player doesn't work?

    B. recent changes made on the computer?

    Have c. you tried this USB device on another computer?

    D. what happens when you connect a different USB device?

    When a USB audio device is connected, and Windows Media Player 11 is open, the computer cannot recognize the newly connected device. This can occur if the computer has speakers plugged into the audio output port, and the new USB audio device is connected after you click stop in the Windows Media Player 11, and before you click on play.

    To resolve this problem, close Windows Media Player 11, and then open it again. This forces the reader to recognize the new audio device.

  • Detection by the guest before the USB host operating system

    Hello

    When I connect my USB key, I want the guest OS (Ubunto 10.04) to be the first to detetct that the USB is plugged before the host (Windows XP) machine.

    I mean that the first control virtual machine instead of the host machine.

    Or rather it is also OK if when I connect or disconnect the USB it's always the VMWare that detects without any manual steps.

    Is this possible? This seems to be a problem of blocking for me now...

    So, I would appreciate if someone could give me a solutuion for it.

    • Have you recently had any power surge?

    You can try to perform a restore of the system on the computer to the point while it was working fine and check if it helps.

  • Bluetooth mouse stopped working & USB device not recognized error

    Laptop using Windows Vista

    I was using my bluetooth mouse when I plugged my mobile phone (via USB cable) in charge. I have done this before w/o a problem (perhaps in another USB Port, now that I think about it) but I did this time and I instantly lost the ability to use my bluetooth mouse and the "USB device not recognized" bubble popped up. Now, this window pops up almost every 10 seconds even with disconnected USB mobile phone.

    I went to bluetooth devices trying to pair my mouse w / new laptop and I can not. It's not show my mouse and when I go to Bluetooth settings and try checking the box (and pressing OK) under the discovery that reads "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" it gives me an error saying that this is impossible.

  • VMWare ESX Server training

    Hello experts,
    I'm new to vitrualization.
    I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

    Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

    I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

    Hi nasolsi,

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

    Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.


    and the performance on my PC?

    No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.


    If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

  • Lost ESX Server shared data store

    Hello

    I can't find the data store shared in one of my ESX Server. And I try to rescan and may find the logic unit number but just can't find the shared data store. This is the channel san fibre storage system.

    Is it possible to return the lost shared data store?

    Thanks in advance!

    You mean it must be confirmed if the partition table is OK first? But how to confirm...

    Just run this command:

    fdisk-l

    You should see your LUN with a VMFS (type fb) partition.

  • ESX Server timed out when I try to enter the license server in the CR

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the addition of two new ESX servers in our virtual Center.

    Let me give you a brief overview:

    We have 5 servers ESX and virtual Center Server.

    All servers are in a single Cluster (Cluster 01)

    Now, we want to use Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and for this reason, we bought another 2 servers (blades).

    I installed from scratch with ESX 3.5 Update 4.

    I did a second Cluster in our VC (Group 02) and add the two.

    I configured the network settings and storage, everything went very well, shoot when I want to point to our license server, whenever I get an error message from our VC. Operation timed out and my settings when not accepted. No matter if I get the IP address or FULL domain name. BUT I can ping our server to ESX Server licenses, so I'm not sure if this is some sort of DNS issue or not.

    Another note: our first 5 ESX servers where ESX Server Standard license.

    Our new ESX servers where an ESX Server VDI license. I used the CD to install ESX normal, because I have not found any VDI install special files.

    I see all licenses in the Administration view in our VC, so I think our license file is not corrupted.

    Things I've done so far:

    Renewal of license, start stop server, esx Server license installed twice from scratch

    I have no more ideas, I hope someone could help me with this problem.

    According to your image, you have 0 agent licenses virtual centre-left to allocate to new hosts.  What might happen, is that the agent is not properly installed on the new servers.  Connect to ESX servers.  Make sure that you can test the virtual Center by domain name server FULL and hostname, not only by intellectual property.  From your RESUME, ping your esx server fqdn and the host name.

    Also, check the file/etc/hosts on your esx server and make sure that the entries are tiny.
