Re: [Xen-users] USB port forwarding to HVM guest in XEN 4.1



I know most of motherboards with usb 3.0 are Âon separate card you can assign that to guest. You can buy pcie usb 3.0 card on ebay for 12$ With linux you can unbind Âany pci cards and assign them to guest os. You have to make sure you have iommu enabed and working  You need to use lsusb instead of lspci command. The dongle should be available all the time.

Hi Jacek,

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ I have few doubts like -
1. Does that passing whole usb controller affect the Mouse(connected through USB port) is also available only to VM??
2. In that case how will I access things in DOM0(UBUNTU)??
3. Can you suggest any good How-To to configure the same. .
4. The device I'm trying to connect to USB port is a USB Dongle, will that be available to DOMU continuously as the Dongle is for licensing.
5. I tried giving lspci -v, doesn't even list the dongle connected USB port :(

Please some one suggest

Hi all,

I'm using XEN 4.1, I want to make visible a usb port in which a dongle is connected to HVM guest(server 2008)

But according to documents found online it says that i can forward a single port only(in XEN 4.1 version). I've already configured usbdevice='tablet'

according to docs, i should mention - usb=1 and usbdevice='host:deviceid:prodid'

1. as i've mentioned 'tablet' can't i mention 'host:deviceid:prodid'???
2. can usb dongle b forwarded to hvm guest?


Can anyone please guide me through with this.

Thanks in advance
