VM-Missing USB devices

Recommended Posts

 Here's the situation:

I have a monitor with KVM switch that is connected to a regular PC and to the Unraid server.

I want to pass the keyboard and mouse to a Windows10 VM on Unraid.

To do that I have to switch to another PC (or RDP to the reg PC) to make the keyboard and mouse available to the Windows10 VM Edit page.

So far, so good, no issue. But when I am on the reg PC, which is now the active keyboard/mouse of the KVM switch) when I want to start the Windows10 VM,

below error is thrown: "Did not find USB device..."

 

Yes, absolutely right! But, Unraid should discard any USB devices missing and not throw any errors.

Most if not all USB devices are plug&play and should not prevent the OS from booting.

 

So, is it possible to review the VM starting rules to avoid checking for missing USB device?

 

Please, let me know if you need +info on this issue or context

 

Thanks in advance

got ya! but that plugin requires that the VM is already started to attach the USB devices.

thats my dilema: the VM wont start if those USB devices are not connected at launch and the devices, in my case the KVM USB keyboard and mouse, wont show up in the device list until I switch them up
