Im putting together a new unraid box, and one of my requirements is USB 3.0 on the Windows Terminal Server Xen guest that i will be adding to this set up.  I will need to add a USB 3.0 PCIe card to my box.

 

Anyone have experience with a USB 3.0 PCIe expansion card that is supported by the latest unraid kernel and supports passthrough?

 

A link to newegg / product number would be great

 

Thanks guys!

I don't think Xen gives a damn about what the card is, just as long as it shows up in "lspci" and gives an address.

 

I'm going to have to go this route as well. Passing through a USB mouse has been not been fruitful.

Me three - sort of.  For whatever reason I wasn't able to successfully create a virtual nic with the "vif" line in my config.  It will boot without it but errors out saying it was unsuccessful in creating the bridge and the VM doesn't start - if the line is present.  But I was able to pass through the 2nd nic on my X7SBE MB for my WHS2011 VM and got WHS to install.  Now to wait for parts so that I can pass through an HBA for the drives for WHS2011.

 

 

 

 

Edit: Found my problem creating virtual nic.  You have to setup unRAID networking to Setup Bridge and the name entered will be the name in the "vif" line in the VM cfg file.
