• ESXi 6 - unable to connect the USB device to VM

  Hi people:

  I have a problem with a specific USB 3 device to try to connect to a virtual computer.  The device is a Toshiba USB 3 5 TB hard drive, and it is recognized by ESXi I see when I do a lsusb command, but it is never offered as a choice available to connect to a virtual computer.  I tried to restart management agents, restart ESXi with the connected device so that it is immediately detected at startup.  I tried using the web client to vcenter server appliance and the native client C.  She just never appears as a choice just as if it is not there.  Other USB 3 devices, including a Startech gigabit network device and another 2 TB Toshiba USB drive appear as a choice, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with USB 3 devices as a whole.  I have connected to other computers and even an Arch Linux VM under the same ESXi which has a Startech USB 3 connected via PCI Passthrough controller and it works in all places.  I tried to connect to a USB 2 port just for the heck of it, and I got the same result (invisible to virtual machines) here is what information I have via the newspapers.  I see a few entries on the device being suspended in the vmkernel journal, but I don't know if it is normal for a device until it is assigned to a virtual computer.

  Any ideas what is wrong or how to fix welcome.

  Hi guys, I just had the same issue and it resolved on my test environment.

  I got the device ID using "lsusb".

  Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0480:d011 Toshiba America information. Systems, Inc..

  where 0480:d011 is the device ID

  Then ran the following command:

  oddities s esxcfg-module = 0480:d011:i usb-storage

  After a reboot I was able to cross the device for my VMs.

  I'm not an expert in this field, as far as I can understand of this thread: problem mit USB Passthrough (eine andere nicht, geht HDD) - to vSphere5 / ESXi 5.0 5.1 - VMware Forum und "usb-storage" module crashes when you try to access the drive and does not pass through to the arbitrator of the usb. The person in this thread turns off the usb storage but I boot from USB and so I couldn't do it. Steal the idea of this thread: zero calorie tech deals: VMFS formatted USB sticks in VMware vSphere 5.1 I could exclude the USB from the usb-storage module device (I think).

  I have not tested how this affects other features, but initial test is positive.

• 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

• 5.5 ESXi Intel motherboard USB devices

  Hello

  I have a number of servers with all motherboards Intel S2600GZ loaded with 5.5 ESXi. Some servers of USB devices work OK (keyboard, mouse, keys USB etc) but others no devices are listed.

  I've seen a few threads that say to activate EHCI hand off but these bios do not have this option. I tried all sorts of BIOS settings on the servers that does not work for USB devices to the list in ESXi, but nothing.

  lsusb on one that works returns keyboard and mouse, etc., the same command on the other and nothing is listed

  These servers all have the same exact bios revision and were all installed in the same installation DVD!

  What can I check in ESXi server work compared with servers don't do any work?

  We have not seen this problem with 5.1 5.5 only

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Jeff

  I solved this problem, for those who may have the same problems:

  I got Intel VT - D directed I/O enabled in bios, I also had 2 Configuration of hubs x USB for transmission of PCI device. I tried to disable this in ESXi, but it does neutralize not after his license. I disabled Intel VT - D directed I/O option in bios, actually forcing ESXi for free transmission devices and USB devices are now properly detected. lsusb lists now all the devices connected to the server as it should!

• Single recovery of ESXi host disaster using boot USB device.

  Here's the scenario. I have an ESXi host 5.0 running from a USB device on a server blade using shared virtual machine network storage and is scratch storage. I have a failure catastrophic host. Can I just plug the USB device into another blade in the same chassis and start getting my VMs back operational.

  In addition, in a similar scenario if I have two devices USB with the same configuration information about them can use as a backup in case of failure of the USB device or is it config info constantly being written to the USB device which is used at the time.

  At the level of the configuration, you need not, this means that as long as you take a regular backup of the config, it is ok.

  But when you need to set up a backup system if a production system does not go and change the Server Blade, be sure to provide a coherent zoning and LUN masking for the blade, if VMware will see the same number of unit logic and tables as before. Same thing applies for VLANS, switches to which the new blade is connected must be configured in the same way that the old blade was (its ports must be in the same VLAN), or some VM can't see the network correctly.

  1. If a system is corrupt and you just need a fresh USB boot

  Plug a USB stick fresh, possibly already installed, boot, and then send the archived configuration, reboot

  2. If a full blade goes wrong, you must change the server.

  Put the WWNS of the HBAS in the same areas that the blade HBA has failed

  Present the WWN of the HBA to the storage group

  If you use the same chassis slotin, the network should be ok, but if not, put the internal ports of the switch module blade matches the new blade in the same VLAN as port internal used for blade failed.

  If you use VirtualFabric / VirtualConnect on 10GBE NICs, you must set up the same way, it was too much on the failed system.

  I hope that its more clear now!

• ESXi list of USB devices

  Hi all

  I need to connect USB on ESXi 4.1 drive to VM, but I do not consider the USB device. Perhaps is connected to the other VM, or disk is disabled, but server is located on the remote location and I can't check this.

  Can I list the USB devices connected to the server or the computer virtual ESXi?

  Thanks for the reply

• Malware can be transmitted through any USB devices

  Hello

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question... I remember reading an article on the possibility of USB devices (such as keyboard, mouse, lamp) from malware if the QA on the device has not been made properly.  I know that it happens for USB drives, but I'm not totally convinced that he might happen to keyboard, mouse, switch KVM etc..

  I'll share my keyboard and mouse between two PCs using a KVM switch.  One of the PC is very old and I don't know if it's totally clean or not, so I just wanted to know if it is a good idea.

  Thank you very much.

  You cannot transfer malware using a keyboard or a USB mouse. You should feel comfortable using the KVM switch. However, if your old computer is on the same LAN as your new computer and file sharing / printing is enabled, make sure that both computers are clean in all cases.

• USB devices connected through a USB 2.0 Hub Stop Responding and are not recognized after Hub reconnects

  Recently, I have this strange problem where if I connect an additional USB device to one of my USB hubs, some of my devices stop working (especially my keyboard and mouse).

  I have two hubs Generic USB connected to my motherboard. My motherboard is an ASUS Rampage II Extreme X 58 who and chips ICH10. It has 4 USB ports in the front and 6 ports on the rear panel (all USB 2.0). I also have a USB 3 controller card that is connected to one of the PCI-E card to the Board of Directors.  I have the following problems:

  1. Connect a USB device to one of my USB hubs (or one of the USB ports on the front panel) causes some of my devices to stop working (especially my keyboard and mouse that are connected via a USB hub). It seems that crashes of USB controller.  If disconnect and reconnect my HUB, windows does not recognize devices connected to this hub.
  2. Now, after the crash, if unplugging the devices connected to the hub and connect it directly to one of the ports on the front or the back of the computer, Windows instantly recognizes!

  Now I'm confused what is the cause of this problem. I had the same computer since the release of the i7 and X 58 and never had this problem (although I don't remember if I used USB hubs right there).

  Why Windows to recognise the devices connected to the hub at the beginning, but not after the crash?

  Why USB devices stop working when I connect to another USB device on my computer?

  And how do I solve this problem?

  AK

  Just a thought by the way.  If the hubs are not powered you can cause the + 5V due to the excessive number of devices not powered up to a point where it causes accidents and able to resume.

  Reduce the number of UN powered can solve this problem,

• Problem of USB ports: remove the material does not work. It works on different computers for the same USB devices

  Original title: problem of USB ports:

  I have a computer dell laptop inspiron d1420 provided with Windows vista and I have upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate, I noticed that when I plug in a USB mass storage, when I try to remove it, I don't get the safe delete the message and lately when I try to remove it, I keep getting the message He's busy and I can't remove it. I tried the same USB on another PC and I have no problem at all. I connected a printer, USB cable and wondows llok have not the driver or didn't install the printer, he left as a device not specified with the name of the printer, but I can't print. I tried with another PC that is also running Windows 7 ultimate and I have no problem, windows has installed the driver, because I used the same printer and the same cable. What is the problem with my USB 4 ports and how to fix?

  Hello

  When you get this message while trying to remove a USB, it's basically a lock for this USB device by some process running on the computer. If we know which process is this locking mechanism, we could also find which Service is associated with this problem in the computer.

  To check this, you can use a program called Process Explorer. You can download this program from the following link. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip downloaded to a folder on your desktop. Inside this folder, you will see a file by the name of procexp , which is the executable for Process Explorer. The download link is:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

  First, plug the USB to one of the USB ports. Then, once you have the executable to Process Explorer, right-click on it and then click run as administrator. Please allow all guests UAC can occur. Once the Process Explorer is running, please follow these steps to search for processes using the USB at the moment:

  1. click on Searchand then click on manage to find them or DLL on the options menu at the top.

  2. then in the pop - up which will turn up next, type the drive letter for the USB drive connected to the computer (for example G: or H:) right now and click on Search.

  3. he should then display all instances of the process that is using this USB at the moment with the corresponding process ID (PID).

  Now, once you have the names of processes using the USB at this time, you can terminate them by clicking on them and then clicking on Manage close. Once this is done, you should be able to eject the USB safely.

  I would like to ask the names of processes lock the drive in your computer. This should give us an idea of what we might have to take the next.

  In addition, for the other issue that you mentioned, in which the computer does not automatically and correctly detects the printer when it is connected to the computer, I suggest you to check whether or not your computer Plug-and-Play service is set to automatic. Here's how you can do this:

  1. press the Windows and the R on your keyboard to get to the top of the run box.

  2. type Services.msc in the run box and press enter on the keyboard. Allow all UAC prompts that may coming up next.

  3. once it opens the window of the Services for you, scroll down to the Plug-and-Play service and double-click it.

  4. in the properties box that will come next, the Startup type should be set to Auto and the Status of the Service must be started. If this isn't the case, please put these values.

  5. click on apply then OK, close all windows in the computer and restart the computer once.

  Once these steps was performed, please check if the problem remains the same. We know the results.

  I hope that these steps raises you in the right direction in order to solve this problem. Don't answer if you still need assistance, we will be happy to be of assistance.

• A USB to ESXi?

  What should I do to get ESXi to recognize a USB flash drive? I was not able to get ESXi to recognize my USB as a device connected to the host or as a device that I can go through a virtual machine - it's as if there are any.

  You need to first plug the USB controller to the virtual computer, here's a guide that will help you:

  VMware vSphere 5.1

  Any help to be highly appreciated

  Sam

  There are two ways to accomplish USB transfer in vSphere 5. You can use the USB connected client method mentioned above, or you can use connected USB host devices.  If you want to use a USB drive connected directly to the host, you first add the USB controller in your virtual machine, and then add a USB device. If the USB drive is detected correctly, it will be shown as a USB device is available and can be passed through to your VM.  This method could perform better since the USB data transfer will be internal to the host and not sent over a network link.

• Qosmio F16 - 14Q - internet USB device showing! in the Device Manager

  Hello

  "my USB device that connect to the internet does not and I wanted on this subject in the Device Manager, it appears under the drive of cd-rom and other two devices below the CD with"! "sign and then I removed the cd-rom drivers.

  Can some give me a link to download the cd-rom driver and help make my USB device work?
  On the drivers, I didn't know my kind of Qosmio in the driver list, he writes back the Qosmio F16 - 14Q.

  Please help me

  I put t know what USB device do you use but if it doesn't work, you must have the driver for this device of some. Part material Toshiba doesn t support third so try please talk with your internet provider and ask for help.

  Another thing: I put t know where you bought your Qosmio but I assume it has been offered to Pakistan. The right support page should be http://asia.toshiba.com/pakistan

  As far as I know, optical drive uses the standard Microsoft driver so that you won't find a driver for the CD-rom drive.

• Tecra A11 - 11: BSOD when plugging in USB devices

  Help. We have several laptop Tecra A11 - 11 to different schools * ALL * with the same problems.

  When the laptop is up and running if a USB device is plugged into one of the USB ports the laptop flashes a very quick BSOD and dies. What is more remarkable with interactive whiteboard USB connection. If that is connected when the laptop is turned on the swift BSOD happens 9 out of 10 times.

  Laptops are downgraded to XP Pro using the Toshiba DVD downgrade. They run on a Server 2003 domain.

  I have updated the BIOS twice now on each of them for the latest BIOS. Also updated the graphics driver supporting the Toshiba last request. No difference. I was told last week she was refitted and I would soon hear. I called today a week later and wsa said she had not yet been raised.

  We bought these thinking they were large laptops with a lot of future proofing not much good if they are not fit for purpose. Children are missing out on an education smoothly through these problems that Toshiba do not treat.

  In addition to this when a non admin user screen resolution of trhe grave at 800 x 600. With the help of a utility shortcut Toshiba Zoom view (Fn + SPACEBAR) you can switch this back as an interim solution, but it is still pending as a flaw.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. Many teachers and many children you will be grateful too.

  Hello

  It's a little difficult to say what are the causes of BSOD.

  Have you tried a utility chipset?

• ADSL modem disconnects when I connect another USB device

  I access internet through an ADSL USB modem. If I'm connected to the internet and plug an another USB device, such as the docking station for my PPC or printer, the internet connection drops and I get an error indicating that the modem or another connection device can be used by another application, or there is an error and it takes several minutes and usually a couple of "made up" to get internet.

  Is this a problem with the management of USB or is this normal? All devices are plug n play and installed before this error. Usually, I connect the modem to the back and other equipment on the side.

  Hello

  It really looks like a USB power management issue.
