September 6, 201312 yr Author To rule out hardware issues, I installed ESXi 5.1u1 and was able to passthrough the same M1015 to unRAID on the first go No USB/PCI pass-through issues with 5.1U1? Did you patch it at all? I've been using 5.0U2 as I've heard a lot of horror stories with USB pass-through on 5.1/U1 I have not tried passing through a usb controller per se, just two PCI devices: the M1015 and an HD6450 video card - no issues. When trying unRAID on ESXi, I just added a USB controller and a USB device (the unRAID usb) and did not attempt to passthrough the controller it was on via "Advanced Settings", if that's what you are referring to. I thought Xen's allure was that it did video card pass through well. But ESXi was able to do it no sweat in my case. You're right, not much of a challenge, as everything is intuitive and just works.
September 6, 201312 yr That's a good point, maybe all the negative stories i hear about usb pass-through is for passing the whole controller through. I guess 5.1U1 would work fine for me then, but might as well wait another week or two for 5.5 to be released.
