Hi Jacek,

Thanks a ton for immediate reply, but I did check lsusb and got the usb port listed.
It displays product id and device id, the issue is in pci configuration v should enter some other ID which we get after running

lspci -n.

But

lspci -n doesn't list that lsusb ids, hence I'm not able to go ahead with checking the same.

Was referring - linux-bsd-sharing.blogspot.com/2012/10/howto-xen-413-windows-8-hvm-domu-with.html

Looking forward for your reply

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 Â 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

You better off passing whole usb controller. I was able to assign usb unifying receiver with Âusbdevice='host:deviceid:prodid this is liimited to usb 1. I had attached usb camera Âand i was getting speed mismatch.Â

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 mentionÂ - 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
