July 17, 20241 yr I have a little media server, HP elitedesk 800 g3 mini. My goal is to power on a VM using a USB device. I can turn on a VM using a phone via WOL, but my purpose is for little kids to turn it on by themselves. USB device > User script > VM turns on Is this possible?

It is generally used for drive operations such as backups from or to unassigned drives, but it might be possible to do what you are looking for.

My usb manager can start a VM when a device is plugged in.
