USB dongle and ESX 3.5 license

I currently have a cluster with ESX 3.5 knots (3) using DRS/HA. I have a request to fix a simple USB dongle to this environment which will be accessed by an application that will run on 2-3 virtual servers (Win2K3 servers) running in my license ESX cluster. My limits are that I have 1 of these USB devices and cannot get more. I did some research on this subject and it seems that my only solution would be the use of a certain type of USB device IP such as the digi AnywhereUSB.

My hypothesis is correct? Is there another solution? Is anyone out there using this configuration?  Thanks in advance.

Your assumption is correct - there are other manufacturers of the other but I have the best success with the Digi product.

  • 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.

  • USB Dongle Bridge with wireless static IP XP

    My computer is connected to the wireless router that is connected to the switch through which I am to access other computers.

    Whenever I connect my USB dongle to access internet, my offline wireless network but I am still connected to the router!
    Here, I'm limited to use only one network at a time.
    I tried the network bridge, always even (no advanced layout need to be changed?)
    Tried to ICS (ICS should not use this feature in an existing network with domain controllers Windows 2000 Server, the servers DNS, gateways, DHCP servers, or systems configured for static IP addresses)

    I'd be very happy that can help solve this problem.

    Your problem is probably the "metric".  I'm doing this from memory because I don't have a machine XP here, so maybe it's a little different but...
    Go to your network control panel.  There should be an entry for your USB dongle and the other for the wireless.  For each of them, right-click on it and select "Properties".  In the window, scroll down if necessary, and then double-click TCP/IP.  In the next window, click on "Advanced".  There should be a box here that is usually checked that says "Automatic metric.  What you need to do is to uncheck this check box and enter a number in the field "the Interface metric.  Put a different number for your USB dongle interface and your wireless (for example, 5 and 10) interface.  The smaller of the two numbers will be the adapter that will be used for the internet... so if I read your post correctly, the USB dongle must be the lowest numbers.

    As your USB dongle is probably the slowest connection, it probably by default a metric higher and therefore is not selected when you use the default settings.

  • Fusion takes over my USB speakers and don't give them back!

    I use VMware Fusion on OS X and Windows Vista.  I have a pair of Harmon Kardon Soundsticks connected via USB.  I have activated their merger via the menu "settings".  The merger is able to use them to read audio data.  So far so good.

    However, when I left the audio for OS X by default Fusion to the internal speaker.  What more, when I go into Preferences system & gt; His, I don't see that the output listed in the tab Soundsticks Harmon more.  It is as if the Fusion 'hijacked' them and returns to OS X.

    I tried to unplug the USB dongle and in plugging it back.  Does not work.  Tried to disconnect and rear connection.  Does not work.  The only thing that solved the problem is to reboot.  Of course, it is a pain.

    Is this a known problem or there at - it a setting I can use to fix?

    A USB device can be directly controlled only by an operating system at a time so if, when you say "when I leave Fusion...". "is stop Virtual Machine target, not suspended, in the guest before quiting OS merger or you're just quiting Fusion and allowing the virtual machine will not target?  If the latter you must eject the USB device in question since the icon remove the device safely in the Notification area of the taskbar, and then disconnect the virtual computer target USB device from the USB icon on the status bar of the Virtual Machine of the target or the Virtual Machine > menu USB before to stop or suspend the Virtual Machine and or quiting merger.

  • Issues FTP using the USB Dongle - solution?

    Hi guys,.

    I just got a (Vodafone UK) USB dongle and connect online in this way ok - the problem is that Dreamweaver doesn't seem to work with this mode of ftp transfer using a USB dongle.

    When I try to edit a page on a Web site, this page goes haywire and become full of gibberish along the lines of:

    «op§šdn.0 'Ö ' 0' $ai.k4tai < |'» # »... ETC. ETC........................."

    Any ideas why or how do to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Now, I found the solution. For reference:

    It seems to be a problem of Vodafone software. To overcome it, do not connect the internet using the shortcut of Vodafone, to place on your desktop, go to the windows start menu > Connect To > and select Vodafone Mobile Connect. If you connect this way, there seems to be no problem of ftp when using Dreamweaver.

  • Satellite P10 and Netgear USB dongle use

    Hello

    NETGEAR insist it is a Toshiba system problem...

    Whenever I try to inslall wg111v2 cherif I get... Failed to install... "RegDBCreateKeyEx failed", and/or... "cannot read the control on the Netgear server file.

    I don't have this problem with my other non-Toshiba Office.

    HM, looks like some related software question, but it s easy for netgear say you it s a problem with toshiba. It is like moving around customers as on a chessboard. :(

    But okay, now you´re here and we all will try to help you. You say you don t get the problem on your machines 'NON-TOSHIBA.

    So, I would say that you should first try to recover your machine with the recovery media, and then try to install the USB dongle. If it really works then it was just a problem of software and it s resolved but if not then come back and we'll see the next today.

    Have you ever used an adapter USB-over-IP?

    I have not personally, but there are a lot of messages in the ESX (VDI) forums on the use of adapters USB-over-IP for USB dongles license.  (ESX does support USB at all, hence the need for an adapter USB over IP.)  There was a post asking about the use of the adapter to a USB hard drive.  But since the passage of data of dongles is not a concern, there was a definitive answer as to how it would work for a hard drive.  But a scanner can be a feature of pretty low anyway.

    The problem is the price.  From $ 300.  The most often suggested model is by DigiAnywhereUSB.

  • USB dongle security available on 4.1

    Hi all

    I'm trying to make it visible to a USB dongle which is the security key for our phone system software.

    3.5 I had to buy the USBAnywhere, which imitated the usb and I was able to use it. With the 4.1, I believe you can have it attached to the vHost derectly and make visible for virtual servers (Windows).

    Unfortunately I'm not near good enough to do it. I plugged in, but not be able to see him leave the vserver. Can you please let me know what is the procedure for the provision.

    Thank you

  • Using a USB dongle on a virtual machine in a HA cluster

    I need to install software on a virtual machine in ESX 4.0 cluster, which requires a USB dongle to be fixed in order to run in non-evaluation mode. I just came across a product called AnywhereUSB which seems to be supported by VMware. Can anyone tell if they used this product, it's all good and I'm still going to be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as is currently?

    > I'll still be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as it is currently?

    Yes. You will be able to VMotion VM with USB over IP solution.
