How to assigning a flash memory to a live VM

[system76]

Hi, have a nice day
How to assigning a flash memory to a live VM? I read this document USB Devices in Virtual Machines but it's need reboot the vm!! Is there no way not to reboot the VM?

It is possible via the Monitor tab of the VM in the Proxmox web GUI or qm monitor on the Proxmox console/command line. I'm not sure of the exact syntax of the command, but you could use something like this: device_add usb-host,bus=xhci.0,hostbus=BUS,hostport=PORT,id=ID (replace BUS, PORT and ID with the physical USB-bus and USB-port (see lsusb) and whatever you like to use as ID. Use device_del ID to remove it again). Maybe you can find a guide or script by searching for QEMU Monitor USB hotplug?
