I have an installation with 4 nodes. It´s possible connect a USB device to a VM in other node. I suppose that this is specially important in an HA environment.

Thanks
 
Connecting to actual hardware sort of breaks the virtualization abstraction. What if the node with the USB device goes down? I don't know if Proxmox supports what you are asking, but you could look into usbip, which is built into Linux, to connect USB remotely.
 
Would be a killer feature. Right now i am sharing usb devices via usbip. Proxmox integration would be great!
 
I just start using Proxmox but have a HA setup of 2 nodes and looking for this feature. Now I have a Raspberry Pi installed with the USB devices and do it with USBIP to mount them to the host. In case of a failure of my node I have to manually move the USB device to the other host. Maybe an automated system for this would be nice.
