ESXi host does not recognize DVD-ROM USB

The server we use as our ESXi server has no cdrom drive.  We connected to a dvd - rom usb to the server drive, but when we try to add to a virtual server, we get a message saying:

Screen Shot 2012-11-28 at 2.00.42 PM.png

Do we do anything to the server so that it recognizes the USB is attached?

I have attached a 60 day trial that you can use.

It appear another issue however.  We have two pieces of software running on physical hardware that use "license dongles."  These dongles hold some informaton for the software licenses and are necessary for the software to work.  How can we virtualize these servers if we permanently attached dongles?

Are these USB dongles?

4.1 ESXi/ESX and ESXi 5.0 supports USB device passthrough for a host ESX ESXi on a virtual machine.

  • Satellite M60-155: drive does not recognize DVD

    The multidrive on my laptop does not recognize DVD-he just turns and clicks.

    It recognizes the CD tho. I've had this problem before, but did not pick up the CD player and it plays DVDs.
    I managed to solve this last time, but I do not remember how.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Don't you remember how you solved the problem? ?:|
    Hmm, very strange.
    However, I think that it s a problem of calibration of lens of the drive.
    The lens can not be calibrated properly and that's why the drive cannot read the media.

    Have you tried to remove the drive from the laptop? If this is not the case, try to remove it. Then start without the drive. Then shut off the unit. Reinstall the drive and start the laptop. The firmware should take over again and maybe the lens is calibrated in the right position.

    You can also try to clean the lens gently. But if the whole points will not help you may need to replace the drive

  • My DVD drive does not recognize DVD game discs.

    My NEC ND-4550-reader DVD - RW does not recognize DVD game discs.
    He has no problem reading movie DVDs and music CDs or access data CD and DVD burnt with data on them.
    I removed and let XP Reinstall the device and high-low filters removed the registry etc nothing works.
    I made a copy of a DVD game on another PC and it is recognized and install my PC.
    All DVD discs work very well on the other PC.
    I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2.
    MS Fixit controls indicate no problems.
    This would be a matter of software protection?
    All tried game DVDs are official records and not copies.
    The NEC ND-4550 uses cdrom.sys as pilot.

    Finally, I replaced the drive for a new one (Pioneer DVR-S18L) and everything now works as it should.
    So I suspect that it's a hardware problem and not one that can be resolved by any of the Windows settings.

  • Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

    My new Z930-118, with windows 7 64 bit home, does not recognize the external CD/DVD drive when I plug it into the USB port.

    The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

    The reader is a SE-S084 Samsun and works well on another laptop.

    I already checked for the "upper_filter", "lower_filter" with the regedit, but entries are not there, so no help.

    Hello
    I m not very well how to help you.

    I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

    I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

    From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
    I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

  • My DVD ROM does not recognize DVD discs after upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7.

  • Laptop Inspiron E1405 media Cntr, CD/DVD-ROM does not recognize DVD

    My CD/DVD-ROM does not recognize when there is a DVD in the drive. I had this problem before, but persistence always overcame the problem, that is, I still put the DVD in over and over again, and then it worked. A week ago, I was able to watch all of a DVD movie, reinserting after about 10 times. But now, it does not recognize a DVD. I tried to roll back the Media Player from v.11 to v.9, but it made no difference. I would appreciate help, like Dell and the India seems unable to help.

  • Satellite C650-1CP - does not recognize DVD

    For some unknown reason, my Satellite C650-1CP stopped reading DVDs (although it works for cd), it does not recognize all simply that a DVD is in the drive.

    I tried several games (including games that worked on my laptop) and none do not work, any suggestions?

    Hello uncleben,.

    Maybe the DVDs are scratched... Have you tried different types of DVD and you are sure that the drives are ok?

    You can also try to remove the server - and lowerfilters in the registry. So follow the instructions in this Microsoft article:

  • Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

    Hello

    Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

    On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

    Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

    * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

    Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

    It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

    can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

    I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

  • Studio 1537 Roxio does not recognize DVD burner

    I have a Studio 2008 1537 with an 8 x Slot Load CD/DVD burner (dual layer DVD + /-in car and it was replaced under warranty about 2 years ago, but now Roxio does not recognize as a reader.)  I want to make copies of some videos, but I can't do it.  I think I need to update the driver, but I do not know what actual brand or DVD burner model number I.  How will I know?

    Roxio will be available for download on my Dell downloads. So go ahead and register, then download the installer and save it.

    You might want to try the upper and lower filter thing (link below). This can solve the problem of Roxio, but not iTunes issue.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • DVD - ROM SD-M1612 does not recognize DVD

    I tried to search, but this search system is not very intuitive. In any case, I found the heading "DVD - ROM SD-M1612 doesn't recognize DVD".
    I'm having the same problem.

    I know the drive works, I use for 5 years or so now, however long he is out. I replaced my hard drive, reinstalled my OS and now it doesn't recognize DVD. !!????

    I tried all day to look for a solution. Fireware v1004. It reads CD fine, but not very strange DVD.

    It also delays my startup process if a DVD is in the drive, by a very long time.

    Any thoughts on what I have to update?

    Hello Fred

    Why are you so sure that the drive is not faulty? If the player is old, it is possible that there is problem with the calibration of laser for DVD playback. I presume you n t have problem with CD with original DVD movies. Am I wrong?

    Another option is to create a bootable USB key with the installation files.

  • Satellite L550D does not recognize DVD

    Hi people,

    New on here have just got my laptop last week.
    It is a standard configuration with Windows 7 64 bit and the DVD - RW is a Pioneer model.

    I used CD no problem to install programs, etc, but yesterday put a DVD movie into the machine for the first time only for it to purr and turn the disc for a few moments and then do nothing.

    I tried the DVD of all regions and tried to find any updated drivers without success.
    Standard dvd only software on it and I haven't installed burn programs etc. it can have an impact.

    The only strange thing is that the driver is from 2006 and seems to speak of CDs.
    Before contacting toshiba, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for any help.

    You happen it ONLY helps some DVD or do you have problems with the other DVD too?

    In many cases, it is possible of s that the CD/DVD drive does not have the means of inserted at the compatibility issue. In such cases, it s a good idea to update the firmware of the drive of s (if the firmware is available for the CD/DVD drive).

    You must also change the registry; Start the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    In addition, go to the Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
    Then restart the unit, the Windows operating system should recognize the gain in car.
