keyboard & mouse do not automatically connect after vm reboot

luca2 · April 12, 2021

Hi,

I am running a w10 vm on the latest stable unraid.

I do assign those marked in red (except "Genesys Logic, Inc Hub") using the "Hotplug USB" hostdev option. And they do work. But if I perform a reboot they need to be assigned again manually which is not optimal for running a headless vm booting at array-start.

The "Genesys Logic, Inc Hub" cannot be assigned using the "Hotplug USB" option because it is not shown to be assigned. I have checked and it is a part of the amd chipset (I think) and is placed in a non "breakable" IOMMU group:

Is there a way to solve this?

Looks like you are setting both vendor product and bus dev. It should be either or.

The bus dev could change at reboot.

As usb mapping is not dependant on iommu groups.

Is there a reason you are doing via xml rather than tick boxes in template? Do you have other changes in xml?

Unraid is using both vendor product and bus dev, not me. This happens when I select keyboard/mouse in the tick boxes.

I tried to manually add to the xml either vendor id or product id, but it is not accepted.

Any other ideas how to passthrough keyboard/mouse that allows them to survive a reboot? I do not have any free accesible pci-express connectors in my MB, otherwise I would have tried to passthrough a pci-express usb card.

Yes you are correct had to add some usb devices back into my vm as I use my usb plugin for assisgn devices.

I have never had a issue previously when usb devices are not mapped after a reboot of the host and vms autostart.

Suggest you post diagnostics for review.

I was playing with the motherboard and I did passthrough this IOMMU group:

And then I assigned to the vm:

image.png.7b964f7fbe4c453da5a96493af359334.png

Now it works as baremetal. You can plug in/out any devices while vm is running.

Still trying to map this usb port because they cannot be easily isolated from the others.

keyboard & mouse do not automatically connect after vm reboot
