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?

Graceful,.

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). It allows you to access USB devices over TCP/IP network. Works with most Windows systems.

We have good experiences with this and just love it

  • Satellite L750 - Support for USB 3.0

    Does anyone know how to determine if my new Toshiba Satellite L750-03C044 takes care of the increased speed of USB 3.0?

    It has three USB Sockets - two on the right of the case and the left itself. All three taken are black, not blue that I could possibly expect for USB 3.0 support.

    The three of us taken are marked with the trident USB logo. The one on the left is also equipped with a bolt of lighting journal.

    Can someone please advise. Thank you very much.

  • Configure Passthrough in ESXi host for USB Dongle?

    Hello

    You have to connect a USB dongle to a virtual machine specific.

    On the web, we find that we can plug the dongle to 5 ESXi host.  For this particular virtual machine, add USB controller and then add the USB device.

    We wonder if we were to "Configure Passthrough" in "Advanced settings" of the ESXi host?  If so, is there an easy way for us to identify the particular USB port used?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you want to only connect the USB dongle to a virtual machine, add a USB controller to the virtual computer is simpler. Once you have added a USB controller, turn on the virtual machine. Plug the dongle on the ESXi host. Open the page change the setting of this virtual machine, add a USB device and you should be able to find the dongle in the list. Save the settings and your virtual machine can now access the dongle.

  • HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse

    I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?

    Thank you

    Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.

    In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.

    I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.

    Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

  • File USB supports for disappointment 19BL502B TV

    Hello

    After reviewing various brands and models of 19-inch TVs, I decided on the Toshiba 19BL502B, after downloading the manual for http://www.toshiba-om.net online.

    What particularly attracted me to it was the support of USB for movies Xvid encoded, as described in 'Appendix C: supported File Formats for USB Mode' in the manual that I downloaded from the top.

    So, I bought one, paid in cash, but when I try to run files xvid, TV does not have this format.
    Research in the paper manual that I got with the TV, Xvid files are not mentioned at all in Appendix C.

    Convert these files in mpeg2 standard comes with a heavy fall in quality and even when converted to Vob format, the image is ok, but there is no sound.

    I tried to take it back to the shop but they say there is nothing wrong with television, as it does what it says in the manual.

    So what's happening? Why my new TV from Toshiba UK does not supports xvid, even if the online manual says it does, and I know that make televisions more expensive and larger Toshiba?

    Can I get an upgrade of the software that supports xvid as advertised?
    My software version is 0.6.6 V and when I do an update he claims it's the lates version.

    So is there an earlier version of the software which, is there a place I can download it, put it on a USB key and upgrade to get what I consider all of the announced features?

    I am very, very disappointed, because it was really the main reason that I bought the machine, so I didn't have to reconvert and DVDs to read.

    Disappointed Frank.

    Hello

    File formats supported for USB mode are listed in appendix c.
    And the video Format Xvid is supported for files with the file extension. AVI
    So if your movies are encoded in the format xvid video, you must use the .avi file extension.

  • USB dongle Wifi taking supported 802. 1 X

    I need a Wifi Dongle USB that supports the Protocol from 802. 1 X.

    The specific problem I am solving is that I am in a place of dead wifi in the office.  10 ft away the signal is very good.  I want to plug a dongle wifi at the end of a 10-foot USB cable to receive good reception.

    Wifi office using 802 Protocol. 1 X so not all USB Dongles work.  I bought an Edimax EW-7822UAC, but it does not support the Protocol from 802. 1 X on OSX.  The source of this information is the Edimax support person I spoke on the phone.  He said that nothing the Edimax wifi dongles support 802. 1 X on mac (support on Windows).

    Assuming you mean 802.11 x wifi is a standard. A dongle 802.11 x wifi isn't different protocol-wise of your bed in your computer wifi card.

    The difference is required to push the dongle usb drivers. Some dongle manufacturers only create drivers for Windows. If you choose a dongle manufacturer that provides Mac drivers to enable the dongle work with your MacBook Pro.

  • Download stack Bluetooth USB dongle for Windows 7

    I have a Toshiba USB bluetooth dongle. The software will not be installed using Windows 7 and the dongle doesn't work at all on my PC. Download only that I could find for the software was for Toshiba laptops! Where can I download the software and drivers? I have to say that support for the updates of Windows 7 is very poor or very well hidden. Why is the only free battery for portable computer users? Have to avoid in the future products of Toshiba because the support appears to be nonexistent. Any help would be appreciated.

    > The software will not be installed using Windows 7 and the dongle doesn't work at all on my PC

    As I understand it, this software is designed to run under Xp/Vista. Right click on setup.exe and select Properties. In properties, select the Compatibility tab and you will see, Compatible mode.

  • Looking for products with specific needs: USB dongle to create WiFi + send traffic through SOCKS proxy

    Hello

    I need a product for a specific use, and it is not easy to obtain the necessary information with the data I found on the web. So I was wondering if anyone knows a Linksys product that fits the need.

    I am looking for a USB dongle to connect to a Windows PC. This USB dongle should * create * a WiFi network and an iPhone would connect to the WiFi LAN. The PC would then play the role of a gateway, that she would share his Internet Ethernet RJ45 connection with the devices connected to created WiFi. In addition, all the WiFi LAN traffic should be sent to a given SOCKS (v5) Proxy (which is actually on localhost).

    You know a product + utility that meets these requirements?

    Thank you in advance!
    Kind regards
    Stone

    This is not actually a function of the adapter wireless and more attached to the PC operating system.

    If you are running a Windows PC is easy. Given that existed in Windows XP Internet connection sharing. It simply comes down to enable Internet sharing on the LAN adapter and assigning the host adapter wireless network connection. Then, you will need to add a wireless Ad - Hoc for your devices in the customer network to connect too. I guess that the wireless adapter must support wireless Ad - Hoc networks, but I think they all do.

    Linux\Mac have similar support sharing Internet.

    There is also software available that you can install to create a hotspot Wi - Fi with your PC.

  • No BIOS for USB support? Can't boot from USB HDD

    Hello

    I was trying to install two operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTP) on my external hard drive (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I can't seem to-because he doesn't seem to be a way to specify the support of USB devices in your boot sequence. It seems that the configuration of the BIOS is limited to these 5 icons of basic (no text below the same you know what they represent) - that seem to hold to drive HARD, CD/DVD, network, etc., but none of the USB hard drives (I don't think the FDD account)?

    For example, install Windows Vista complains that the BIOS does not support boot from my external hard drive - Linux does.

    Or am I missing something...?

    Kind regards

  • What type of support for labview usb protocols?

    Hello guys I want to connect a device to your pc via a usb port and I want to use labview to analyze the data.

    But first of all, I would like to know what usb protocols support for labview.

    USB, USB CDC and other TMC?

    I ve read labview recognizes a raw device to the usb, but what is? Is it VI to read and send data, or I have to do? If these VI exists, they do the handshake? flow control?

    Thank you.

    Please read the chips and have a look at the USB specification (it is linked to in the nuggets).

    TMC, CDC, MAss Storage are all built on the basic USB protocols.

    LabVIEW has no built-in support for one of these classes of devices except Test and measurement.
