good morning community
On my old DEV Server with Proxmox 3.4, running on a ASUS P7P55D I was able to passthrough 2 external drives with USB 2 and one external USB 3 drive connected to USB 2 ports w/o any problems. I passed the USB drives to a Windows 8.1 VM and the behavior was rock solid.
On a fresh installed Proxmox 3.4, running on a ASUS Z87 Deluxe Motherboard I face some strange issues I'd like to share with you.
Picture of the manal with the USB Ports : http://cl.ly/image/3f1o0s471p0w
here some details about my current configuration on the new DEV Server on the ASUS Z87 Deluxe MB :
USB host infos on the running VM
VM configuration
Problem description
With the above configuration I just see the 2 external drives connected to the USB 2 ports (usb1 and usb2)
The USB 3 based external hard (usb0) drive is not visible in the windows 8.1 guest system. in the device manager I see an error about wrong Vendor description. Therefore the Device won't show up.
I double checked with the available documentation:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_Devices_in_Virtual_Machines
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_physical_port_mapping
Does someone of you had similar issues and can provide a solution or point me in the right direction ?
cheers
