ESXi 5.5 changes in support of USB controllers?

Trying to upgrade my laboratory at home to 5.5 to test some of the new features before making roll at work and I encountered a problem with installing it.

I have a pair of hosts running 5.1 installed on a USB key with an internal SSD to be used as a host disk cache (prob to commute to vCache if ever I can get 5.5 to install).

5.1 and 5.0 before he recognized the USB and installed it without any problems, 5.5 however did not see the USB drive at all. In fact, as far as I can tell to halfway across the chest (to the yellow top half point) it seems to disable the USB subsystem entirely because the connected usb keyboard turns off at this point. He continued boot from USB CD-ROM drive

My best guess is that the UEFI boot is keeping in legacy mode usb controllers and present to the boot environment, ESXi starts the drivers for USB controllers attempts take charge from the UEFI bios and shut them down/is unable to load / who knows.

I was wondering if anyone else saw it and there a work around?

My systems are:

ASUS P8H61 - I motherboard R2.0

processor i3-3220

USB stick plugged into the usb2 ports NOT usb3 ports

I had the same problem as everyone else, but I'm on an Asus ASUS RS700-E7/RS8, here's what solved the problem for me:

See the attached photo, by default EHCI transfer was disabled, so I chose "Enabled" as shown and restarted.

The keyboard and other USB devices then continued to be reactive. Research in transfer EHCI then is on my list unless someone can shed some light on this subject.

  • support for USB dongle

    It is my understanding that ESX 4 supports the usb of the virtual machine. I also understand that VMotion does not support virtual machines that use the usb dongles. I plugged a USB stick in the host ESX 4, but I don't see where I need to configure the virtual machine to use the usb dongle. Can you please point in the direction of the documentation or tell me what configurations changes needed to make the visible usb dongle (s) to the virtual machine?

    ESX does not support USB transfer, as in VMware Workstation etc. If you need to access USB dongles and also need to vMotion, you can watch the solution USB Anywhere of Digi (http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.jsp).

    Hi Dean,

    I understand that your USB drives and internet connection works properly but it does not appear correctly in the Device Manager page and the network as appropriate.

    This problem could occur if the drivers were not properly installed or was unable to configure. As a Reader USB usually works if the default driver/generic drivers are present in the system. But as you rightly mentioned that gets listed under USB controllers.

    To better understand the issue, please send us the following information:

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    2. When this problem started?
    3. You did it all changes to the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you follow these steps and see if it works:

    Run the System File Checker

    File system check to determine if the problems you encounter on your computer are caused by one or more system files.

    You can read the following Microsoft article to repair corrupted using SFC tool files. Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    After reboot, Windows will automatically install the device driver, and you should see the device listed in the appropriate category.

    Hi Shalini.

    Thanks for the reply, but if you read through the posts on this thread, I think you will find that it has already been suggested that I do these two things - what I've done many times without result.

    Fortunately, I managed to fix it myself.

    To satisfy your curiosity and help someone else who could see this thread with a similar problem, here are the steps I took finally solve the problem:

    ______________________________________________

    I was always convinced that the problem is basically with the xHCI USB controller that I saw always reported as not working not properly in the device (Code 12) Manager. With this in mind, I set out to see if I could determine what the device was supposed to be in conflict with. I ran msinfo32 and began to examine the conflicts/sharing section. After a while, I decided I could not see anything obviously problematic or direct me to the controller xHCI, so I gave up on that front.

    Well, if I couldn't fix the problem with the current installation, maybe that I could find another way to install the xHCI USB controller that could circumvent the flaw that seems to be caused when windows reinstalls automatically it when restarting after the abduction. So I started trying to learn more about this "xHCI USB controller" - since Googling this term has given no end of problems not related.

    In Device Manager, I found a way to isolate the details of this driver in device (somewhere under the properties I believe) Manager. This has created a custom device showing in view only a select few connects the Manager. I have spent some time in the analysis of these and found the time during which the camera has stopped working properly. Suddenly a pattern emerges. Over and over again, see you the following series of when I was hoping that allowing windows to reinstall automatically the driver would to fix:
    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 has been removed

    [Rebooted PC]

    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 has been configured
    • Device PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_05F91028 & REV_04\3 & 11583659 & 0 & A0 had a problem starting.

    Under each newspaper was referring to a driver name, I didn't already had access to: driver name: usbxhci.inf

    Now I got some new information about the xHCI USB controller, I took to Google. After much research (and not find something relevant), I found 2 obscure references to the driver who seemed at least somewhat relevant.
    The first reference has been a post on the forum where someone's USB ports stopped working. very similar problem to mine! There is little of any particular use in the nets, with the exception of the reference to a couple of windows updates: KB 2823516 or KB2822241

    It is not clear exactly what usbxhci.inf capacity was tied to these updates, but I made a note of them and moved.

    Another article contained no mention of specific ports USB not working does not and was centered around a different problem entirely. However, he has mentioned an another windows update: KB2919355-x 64.msu

    This one (as I remember) was clearer on the relationship between the update and changes to the usbxhci.inf file.

    Now, I had three updates which could make changes to usbxhci.inf at one point. With their name on a piece of paper, I started looking through my updates installed to see which ones I had installed. I soon discovered that Ko 2823516 or KB2822241 were not present on my PC, which saved the penalty to guess who would be the right to uninstall first.

    KB2919355 has been installed, and I made the decision to uninstall it, because as far as I knew, this update changed something in usbxhci.inf. After the initial uninstall was completed, but before the mandatory reboot for changes to take effect, I went into Device Manager and removed the xHCI USB... because I was afraid that if the new, "defective" was always present during the reinstallation of the update, it doesn't change anything.

    The device is removed once more, I rebooted the system. He drives for a considerable period, uninstall the update and then seems to have some sort of hitch; declare something in the sense of "we could not complete the operation. Changes to undo. " He stayed like that for a while before the system became operational again and began to "prepare windows. Once it was over, I discovered that my touchscreen and USB ports worked very well.

    Investigation later showed that the compatible USB xHCI host controller was is no longer marked with warnings. In addition, a series of USB controllers appeared that had not been there when the xHCI device was defective. I was also pleased to note that the update of windows for KB2919355 had already been reinstalled without messing up anything.
