Aladdin eToken Passthru USB to VM

[dugald]

I would like to connect an Aladdin eToken to a VM (ID 490)

On the proxmox host I can see the eToken once connected. The lsusb and usb-device information.

#lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0529:0600 Aladdin Knowledge Systems eToken Pro 64k (4.2)

#usb-devices
T:  Bus=04 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0529 ProdID=0600 Rev=01.00
S:  Manufacturer=AKS
S:  Product=eToken Pro 0600
C:  #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=60mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)

To attach the USB to the VM I have tried on the Proxmox host

qm set 490 -usb0 host=0529:0600

In The GUI I see in the hardware section for the VM "USB Device (usb0)"" with the following "host=0529:0600" in RED.

I have rebooted the VM and the "host=0529:0600" remains RED.

Inside the VM I cannot see the usb device attached the OS.

What do I need to do to be able to pass thru a USB device to the VM using Proxmox?

Shutdown your VM, so the config is picked up on next start.
