Help USB passtrhough to KVM

[indenova]

We follow: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ProxMox_Notes_from_Recent_Forum_Postings#USB_inside_KVM

But when we just try the "qm set" command and it seem its not possible to do hostusb option

qm set 417 -hostusb 0930:6544
Unknown option: hostusb
400 unable to parse option
qm set <vmid> [OPTIONS]


Please help, how can we attach USB to the KVM directly?

thank you.

Hello indenova

qm set 417 -hostusb 0930:6544

The correct syntax is

qm set 417 -usb0=0930:6544

see also man-page!

The Wiki is obviously outdated.

Kind regards

We try with -usb0 option and same error :/

qm set 417 -usb0=0930:6544
Unknown option: usb0=0930:6544
400 unable to parse option
qm set <vmid> [OPTIONS]

NOW we try this:
qm set 417 -usb0 host=0930:6544
update VM 417: -usb0 host=0930:6544

Seems working but when we enter de Virtual Machine there is no USB connected :/

Yes, sorry, I made a writing mistake.

But USB should work in the guest when started. Note that the USB device is still seen in host´s lsusb (but does not work). I made the test with an USB memory stick as well with an eth adapter in a linux guest - both worked fine.
