Use "qm monitor" and "info usbhost" instead! More details about ports can be found here - but note as already mentioned the "lsusb -t" call is not reliable. Therefore the form specifying bus and port is used: Cruzer Blade # -usb host=Īccording to the above example let´s say the Alcor stick and the Cruzer Edge connected to the external hub (which is device (4) from the example) should be assigned to VM 804:įor the Cruzer Edge this form will not be sufficient - there are two devices from the same type. This is the simplest form and sufficient in most cases.īus 002 Device 004: ID 0781:5567 SanDisk Corp. Ethernet Network adapter USB 1.1 behind the same USB hub as above.memory stick Alcor behind the same USB hub as above.memory stick SanDisk USB 2.0 behind a USB hub.

In order to demonstrate how devices, physically connected to the host can be identified it´s assumed the following 7 USB devices are currently connected: Shutdown the VM (if running) and start it again.Īlternate way: pass the USB port to the guest Example Simple Way: pass the USB device ID to the guestĪssigning an Alcor memory stick connected to the host to VM 804.įigure out in the host the Device Type byīus 002 Device 013: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp. The assignment of such devices can be predefined in the configuration file or "plugged" into the VM while it is running.
