Dear Friends,
I have HP Microserver G8 where I have an USB Zigbee dongle - Texas Instruments CC2531 (with separately installed Mosquitto MQTT and Zigbee2Mqtt service). Proxmox is running on it with Home Assistant in a VM. Everything was working fine on that server. I got a Dell T630 and I would like to move to this server. Installed Proxmox restored the VMs, containers from Microserver's backups, but cannot get the CC2531 dongle up and running.
It seems from dmesg that Microserver registers the driver whereas t630 does not. Green led on the dongle lights up constantly on Microserver, on T630 it lights up for 15sec then turns off.
Do you have any suggestions?
What I've tried:
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
sudo usermod -aG tty $USER
sudomodprobe cdc_acm
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
use a different USB port
restart server
dmesg from microserver:
