wolfdale Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Is it possibile to make it so that even if an assigned device is missing the VM will start anyway? I have a printer that isn't always connected to the VM. Link to comment

I have a printer that isn't always connected to the VM. There is a plugin you can use for hotplugging devices to a running VM. Most likely in the plugin part of the forum Link to comment

Found it here : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=47240.0 Edit: this probably doesn't do what I want unfortunately. I'd like it to automatically detect and attach the peripheral, just like VMware or Virtualbox does. Link to comment
Bugman1400 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I am running W10 VM and I have other USB assignments. I have the same model as the recommended change but, my current XML shows it as a index ='1'. What should I do to get this to work? <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='1' model='nec-xhci'> <alias name='usb1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </controller> Link to comment

ars92 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This also allowed me to use my wireless xbone adapter on win 10, without it I would get the code 10 error. Thanks Jon! Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to comment
dimes007 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'> ---deleted whatever was here--- </controller> Worked like a charm for me in my Windows 10 vm. Hopefully a bonus for me, in my Lenovo D30 I have 2 USB 3.0 ports that are these NEC high speed. I'll pass the entire USB controller into my Windows 7 VM. Hopefully the real thing works as well as it does emulated. Cheers. Link to comment
Nycwill Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It didnt work for me, Like someone had stated, I tired to delete <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> but it will add it back to the xml Any suggestion? Link to comment

Yes, did that. but the address was added back. I'm running windows 10, it does show the usb 3.0 extensible host controller in windows but nothing happens when i plug a USB.

Did you add: <controller type='usb' index='0' model='[glow=red,2,300]nec-xhci[/glow]'> ---deleted whatever was here--- </controller> Adding 'nec-xhci' switches the usb driver in Windows to USB3. You remove the address line and the VM manager adds it back based on the change you made. This is the correct operation and is not a problem. It sounds like you are expecting to hot plug USB devices in Windows. This does not help with that if that is what you are trying to do. You assign the USB devices in the VM manager to pass through a USB device to your VM. This modification was only suggested to help in those cases when a USB device might not properly work on a motherboard with USB3 ports. You need to describe in more detail what you are trying to do so we can offer you proper support. Just saying that 'It doesn't work' does not give anyone enough information to help you.

I was in the same boat. model='nec-xhci' in Windows 7 had the vm crashing. I couldn't get to a start menu. I tried model='ehci' and rebooted. Everything works including a wireless usb card that didn't work with the model='nec-xhci' removed. Give it a shot. Regards. Link to comment
diyjeff Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Worked perfectly to add a StarTech USB3 to Ethernet adapter for a 2nd network adapter (Windows 8.1). Link to comment
coppit Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is this the method that is now implemented at the bottom of the VM "edit" page in Unraid 6.2? I'm running RC2, and my USB headset has "crackling" audio. When I pass through the controller it doesn't have this problem. Link to comment
blodfjert Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This solved issues my VM had with recognizing my Logitech G19-keyboard, as described in this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50854.0 Thank you and your beautiful mind! Link to comment
chris1259 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 This solved my USB issues on Windows 10 Ent x64 v1607. After i SSH into the server i ran lsusb. Everything important to passthrough to the VM is on Bus 003 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8002 Intel Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:800a Intel Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 004: ID 413c:2003 Dell Computer Corp. Keyboard Bus 003 Device 026: ID 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp. Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Bus 003 Device 034: ID 0461:4e22 Primax Electronics, Ltd Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0781:556b SanDisk Corp. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub I tried all 10 USB ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0) on my server but the device always showed up on Bus 003. These devices are currently plugged into USB 3.0 ports. So per your suggestion i changed this <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> to this <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'> </controller> Now all 3 devices are working properly. Previously only 2 of the 3 devices would work at any given time. THANK YOU! Link to comment

jonp Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 As of unRAID 6.2, you can select the USB 3 emulated controller in the Add or Edit VM page of the webGui. This manual workaround is no longer required. Link to comment
