Re: [Xen-users] USB Pass through

Hi,

If it's a dongle, why don't you use it as an drive in your domU (say xvdb?). You need to simply add an disk definition for the whole drive.

Eg: 'phy:disk/by-id/you-USB-dongle,xvdb,w'

Hope this helps.

Regards!

Hello,

I'm trying to add a USB dongle to my domU. I searched a lot and found an instruction (http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenUSBPassthrough.html). I added followings to domU's cfg file:

usb = 1
usbdevice = 'host:0925:1234'

But when i create my domU lsusb still doesn't show anything at all and the device isn't present in /dev. I found a solution to this problem in a mailing list and i added the following to my /etc/fstab

/sys/bus/usb/drivers /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=0,devmode=664 0 0

but still no luck. I'm using xen 3.2.1 so i guess it's my only option and i can't upgrade to xen 3.4 easily because it's a production server. I also tried PCI Passthrough but my host which is debian lenny, doesn't have pciback module and I had no success in loading that module. Any Ideas?

xen version = 3.2.1
host = Debian (5.0.3)
guest = Debian (5.0.9)
