Hi Guys,

I installed ProxMox on my NUC5i7RYH all is working fine so far.

However, I am unable to add USB devices to virtual machines, they don't show up in the virtual machine at all.

What I have tried so far:

- Checked BIOS/UEFI settings and enabled virtualization technology.

- Followed this article:

root@proxmox:~# lsusb | grep King
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0951:1643 Kingston Technology DataTraveler G3
root@proxmox:~# qm set 100 -usb0 host=0951:1643

root@proxmox:~# qm set 100 -usb0 host=0951:1643
update VM 100: -usb0 host=0951:1643

root@proxmox:~# cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf

usb0: host=0951:1643



Rebooted client afterwards, USB device is not showing up.



- Tried to add the USB device to a Windows 7 client and a Debian 8 machine both fail

- Tried a USB2 and USB3 key


My apologies for my bad English, all suggestions are welcome.

Edit (Working for USB3 Now if I manually add it, when running, adding it in the config file so it will be loaded during boot does still not work):

device_add nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci,addr=0x5
device_add usb-host,bus=xhci.0,vendorid=0x1058,productid=0x107c
