virsh change-media seems to work for changing the iso in a cdrom drive that has been pre-defined in the VM.  I was thinking of USB Manager creating virtual usb ports with associated iso or vdisk files.  They could be hot-plugged into the VM as usb devices with VM Attach/Detach.  The advantage of implementing this in USB Manager is that commonly used iso or vdisk "ports" could be pre-defined, and switched between VMs as desired.  The advantage of implementing hot-plug in VM Manager is that not everyone has discovered this plugin.

Are you talking about Libvirt hotplug plugin or my hot plug as part of USB Manager.

 

 

But will look into it. Would need to make sure no conflict with UD also.

Found that I can add vdisks dynamically, Not been able to get iso to work as yet , unless you know the commands.

 

root@computenode:~# virsh attach-disk "Windows 10 test4" --targetbus usb --source /tmp/test.img  --target hda
Disk attached successfully

root@computenode:~# virsh detach-disk "Windows 10 test4" --target hda

Thanks for the screenshot.  Never noticed the USB Manager Hotplug section on the VMs page.  Since discovering that with USB Manager, I can use both of my licensed flash drives (with the same vendor id) at the same time, I haven't gone back to Libvirt hotplug.

 

I found this, https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/261

  It looks like the hotplug cdrom on a usb bus was never implemented.  There was a commit 3 weeks ago.

 

Since cdroms are read-only, there might not be a conflict with ud.  And ud doesn't currently mount vdisks, although it would be a useful feature.

 

Think about a usb mounted vdisk as a virtual external hard drive.  It could be plugged into any vm, and with ud enhancement, could be mounted on the host.  Not every vm has network access to the host.

Installed plugin and getting the following error show up in Unraid GUI (below the menu bar):

 

Warning: parse_ini_file(/tmp/usb_manager/config/usb_manager.cfg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/PageBuilder.php(58) : eval()'d code on line 1

 

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Have you tried removing and re-installing. I remove all the config and reinstalled no issue on my machine.

 

Does the directory exist? ls /tmp/usb_manager/config/ 

Is it possible to hide the menu item "USB" that is very intrusive between MAIN and SHARES and instead put it in settings or tools?

(maybe make this an optional setting?)

Will look to see if I can make as an option.

Option added in 2022.08.20

 

I guess not released yet. "Any minute now"?

Was released about 2 hours ago. Have you updated the plugin?

Actually I still don't have this.

USB Manager says 2022.05.20, but also doesn't find an update for it.
(plugin updates work fine in my server - I just did a couple 5 minutes ago)

Maybe some version red flag? I am on 6.10.3.

Not sure why you are not seeing the updates, works on 6.9.2 as below 6.10 and 6.11rcs Trying removing and reloading. Config will stay intack.

Ok, I think you may have installed the old v1 version that was in CA for a while. You need to remove the plugin and install again from CA.

let me see...

 

...yes this works

Hi Again 🙂

I had many problems attaching the CONBE II stick to my VM running Home assistant

And I reverted to use your great plugin for this, but for some reason I keep getting this error:

Some think strange the USB for both is using 04?

 

Any input to what I can try, would be much appreciated

What output do you get if you hover over the virsh error?

 

The port number is only used if you enable connect as serial via the slider which is required for map Conbee II correctly above 6.9.2

THANKS! SO MUCH - I enabled the Conbee II as a serial and it seem to work now!

My only problem now is that I don't know the correct path in the HA VM anymore?
I know this is kind of off-topic but do you know how to define/find the new USB path in HA?

The path will be like this now.

Also you dont seem to have connected as serial, should show like this: connected(serial) for either port or device maps

Yes it seem i have this error:

But I have changed the XML looking in the XML I now have to entries? like someone here also experienced

What should I do... both here are port 4 should I just change one to something else?

Again thanks for helping, been at this all day 😞

Did you add the XML manually? It may be you changed the slider to serial when it was connected.

 

If you added the lines by hand remove them.

 

Change slider back to off. Disconnect from VM, Change Slider to on and reconnect.

 

XML should look like this if added via the plugin, I use the alias to remove.

 

    <serial type='dev'>
      <source path='/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DEX-if00'/>
      <target type='usb-serial' port='1'>
        <model name='usb-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='ua-serial001011'/>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>

Great reading the guide I did add the XML input manually SORRY 

Everything is now removed:

So everything should now finally be okay on the Unraid and XML part!

But for some reason I still get the in HA

 

Might be a stupid Q but how can I validate the path in HA?

Again your help is much appreciated without ZigBee most of the smart house doesn't work - so I am not that popular at home right now LOL

I am not an expert in ha, but from the HA console if I run hw info I see

 

And from settings->system->hardware click on ... and select all hardware.

 

Edited September 17, 20223 yr by SimonF

Finally I found this under the "3 dots" under /config/hardware on the HA UI

The path was: "path": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-QEMU_QEMU_USB_SERIAL_1-0000:00:07.0-4-if00-port0"

Thanks everything is up and running and I can get everyone off my back LOL

Have a great weekend, you saved mine! Cheers
