USB Passthrough not working.

[KoNeko]

i have a KMV ( a hddmi one with 4 ports that can i can use to use 4 computers/outputs over hdmi i can also connect my kb and mouse to it.

 

it works when i use my normal computer but when i want to passthrough it to the VM it doesnt work.

 

i checked the iommu

this is from the vfio plugin but i cant pass this one as it also holds my Unraid flash drive.

 

if i put the USB Controller on the vm settings to usb 2.0  keyboard and mouse not working

if i put it on usb 3.0 only mouse is working and no keyboard

 

i have a seperate KB/mouse combo connected directly on the unraid server which is the rapoo one. and that works fine but i want to passthrough my normal kb and mouse. ANy idea how i can fix this ?

 

i got my GPU etc working after some tricks from spaceinvaderone.

Yes i saw that one. but im not trying to passthrough any pcie device.

 

my boot USB seems to be on the same group as teh rest of my USB. i tried all ports on my computer  and always gets into the same group.

[meep]

So you have a mouse and keyboard attached to a KVM, which in turn is attached via a single USB cable to your unRaid server (with a similar single USB attached to your standalone PC). Is that topology correct?

 

In the listing above, can you please point out which lines relate to they keyboard and mouse attached to the KVM? Can you point out if ione of the hubs listed is the KVM itself?

 

That information would be useful.

 

Do you have the KVM switched to your VM when you are booting unRAID? When you are booting the VM? What exactly are you attempting to pass through to the VM? (a screengrab of your VM config would be useful, particularly the bottom section that shows USB and PCI device passthrough).

 

I use KVMs with VMs myself and they work fine, but I always have a dedicated USB adapter passed through to the VM and have the KVM attached to that. This facilitates native device hot swapping inside the VM and works much much better than trying to get an unRAID device working.

I have a  4 port HDMI/keybord/mouse switch. keyboard en mouse and a hdmi cable connected to the switch and than KB/mouse are connect via 1 cable to the PC and 1 to the unraid server and both have a own HDMI cable.

the mouse is the kensington

the keyboard it self i dont see. but the switch seems to be the IM nbetworks. because that is the one i see on teh VM's also

it works fine on my standalone PC.

 

yes the switch is always connected also when im booting the Unraid server. When i go to the bios of the server it all works fine.

 

but once i start a VM i tried windows and LInux both only the mouse works but only when set to USB 3.0 if i use usb 2.0  on the settings page both arnt working.

 

i do have more usb controllers it seems but cant figure out which is that.

It's odd that the mouse shows up like that, but the keyboard does not.

 

I would strongly advise that you figure out which physical ports are attached to the other controller and pass that controller through. First, you'd need to plug a uniquely named device (say, a usb thumb drive) into each port in turn and observe in your devices list what controller its appearing under. Then, assuming there's nothing else on this controller, and its in its own IOMMU group, use the VFIO-Config plugin to select it for passthrough and reboot. You will then be able to pass the entire controller through to the VM, and plug your KVM into one of those ports. You'll likely find this a much more reliable set up.

 

Bear in mind that some of the ports attached to the controller may be your internal motherboard USB headers.

all ports i checked seems to be the same controller.

 

So best case might be a extra USB card in there. But also need to check on that. Because i have a GPU in there and a SAS card for 8 extra sata.

not sure if i add an extra card will impact the performance negatively.

 

While the server is a i7 4790k. Might upgrade maybe this year to a new system. A ryzen one.

[meep]

Adding a USB adapter won’t impact performance, and will enhance usability for your setup.

My Intel i3-4170 does not support VT-d (but does VT-x, as VM works fine).  Does this mean I cannot passthrough a USB-serial device to my Home Assistant VM?

You should be able to passthru a usb dev just not passthru a pcie usb card.

It may be when you switch a disconnect happens and the bus and dev are updated.

 

Mapped usb devices only get mapped at vm start.

 

Have a look at my usbip gui plug as can auto connect usb devices.

Good news, but though longtime unraid user, this is my first attempt at pass-through.   Should it just show up after a reboot, because it doesn't.   Thanks

Where doesn't it show in the VM template? Does the USB device show in lsusb?

[curtis-r]

Does this help? It doesn't appear to show in the devices because if I unplug it & re-run the command, it's the same.  The 2nd photo is my Home Assistant VM settings.

For some reason the host is not seeing the usb device any syslog or dmesg when you plug it in?

[curtis-r]

Let me experiment with a completely different USB device and report back.  Thanks.

[curtis-r]

Ok, so sorry for wasting everyone's time.  It must be something with my USB-serial device, because I just tried a USB mouse and it shows.  Win10 also has some issue with my USB-serial device.  Will get another one.  Thanks for the effort.

 

EDIT: found a different USB-serial laying around and it shows up! 

Edited June 6, 2021 by curtis-r

[curtis-r]

Ended up having another (working) USB-serial device laying around, but now have a new issue:

 

Device shows up in unraid terminal.  It's the PL2303

 

It shows up in my Home Assistant VM settings:

 

But it doesn't show up within my Home Assistant VM terminal:

 

Any ideas?

Did you hotplug it once vm was started?

If so, attach the converter before starting the vm, or reboot the vm once it's attached.

[curtis-r]

@ghost82, you are correct!  I hadn't updated this post since I figured that out a day ago, but I actually just rebooted unraid all-together, and I could then verify the USB-serial through the Home Assistant VM.  Thank you!
