Passthrough USB Blu Ray Burner in Windows 10 VM

[MrWuf]

I am still new to Unraid.  I have a USB ASUS BW-12D1S-U Blu-Ray burner I would like to passthrough to Windows 10 VMs. 

It does not show up among USB Devices in the VM "Form View" (which isn't surprising after having read a couple forums based on similar questions).   

When checking "System Devices", it shows up in "SCSI Devices".  I confirmed its name, bus, target, & unit via the lsscsi command in terminal. 

Based on the same forums, I edited the XML by adding a new entry within the <devices> </devices> block.

The VM boots fine and a new SCSI Controller was detected within Windows.  Attempting to update its drivers via the virtio ISO added a "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller" but that was it. 

Currently I have 3 SCSI Controllers listed in "Other devices" but have not been able to find any drivers.

 

I'm running Unraid v6.9.2.   Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

What's the output of lsscsi and what changes did you do to the xml to add the scsi controller and the BW scsi device?

[MrWuf]

lsscsi: 

[11:0:0:0]     cd/dvd     ASUS     BW-12D1S-U     E402     /dev/sr0

 

Re: xml, I tried each of the following:  

<devices> 
  ...
  
  <controller type='scsi' index='4' model='virtio-scsi'/>
  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
    <source>
      <adapter name='scsi_host11'/>
      <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </source>
    <readonly/>
    <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
  </hostdev>
  
</devices>

and 

<devices> 
  
  ...
  
      <controller type='scsi' index='4' model='virtio-scsi'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0d' function='0x0'/>
    </controller>

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host11'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </hostdev>

</devices>

 

Thank You

Try this:

<controller type='scsi' index='4' model='virtio-scsi'/>
  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
    <source>
      <adapter name='scsi_host11'/>
      <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </source>
    <readonly/>
    <address type='drive' controller='4' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
  </hostdev>

Since you have the controller with index=4 I think you need to attach the device to controller=4.

Let me know.

I would supprised if it is not in lsusb. My BU40 is connected via the Initio Controller.  The ASUS is Sata attached.

Bus 001 Device 031: ID 13fd:3609 Initio Corporation USB3.0 DEVICE

root@unraid:~# lsscsi | grep sr
[5:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  ASUS     BW-16D1HT        3.01  /dev/sr0 
[12:0:0:0]   cd/dvd  HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU40N      1.03  /dev/sr1

root@unraid:~# lsscsi -t

[12:0:0:0]   cd/dvd  usb:1-1.2:1.0                   /dev/sr1 

This should show the usb port

Success!  @ghost82 Setting the controller number to match the index worked.  I obviously overlooked that when looking at other examples.  Thank you very much.

 

@SimonF For (my) learning sake, I had originally tried "lsusb" but did not see it listed.

"lsscsi -t" does show the USB port however (definitely good to know).

Thank you both very much for the quick responses & the help!

usb:1-2

 

Try the following with your usb of 1-2 instead of 1-1.2 and you should be able to ID the info below to match to the lsusb. Maybe the ASMedia device.

 

root@unraid:/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2# cd /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2
root@unraid:/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2# cat idProduct 
3609
root@unraid:/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2# cat idVendor 
13fd
root@unraid:/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2# cat busnum 
1
root@unraid:/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.2# cat devnum
31

 

[MrWuf]

@SimonF  You were correct.  I was able to verify with your steps above that it is the ASMedia device.  As a result, I'm also able to add it via USB Devices.

 

Thanks again to you both.
