[Xen-users] Centos 5.7 Xen 4.1 AMD 64 from gitco cannot attach usb port to domU windows 7
Hi.
Just wondering is someone have been able to connect usb memory sticks
in xen 4.1-gitco running hvm windows 7?
I use xen 4.1 from gitco, is working without any issue, I need support
for a usb memory stick, but I had not been able to make this works.
Reading xm commands and process, first my MB Biostar A780L3L v6 wont
support IOMMU.
Now exist a doc from xen wiki from someone from Fujitso that show the
procedure he use:
xm usb-hc-create... works no issue.
xm usb-list Darwin
Idx BE state usb-ver BE-path
0 0 1 USB2.0 /local/domain/0/backend/vusb/2/0

xm usb-attach

I read on other post this:
centos5 kernel-xen does NOT have xen pvusb drivers included,
This is the problem?
If not, could someone show me some light here?
Last thing, the usb-add commands are related to pvusb?
Thanks!!!

Could you try passing the USB host controller through to the domU as a PCI device instead? You might have to pass other devices sharing the same PCI bridge with it too... _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

This new for me, passing the whole controller to the domU is related to: Xen PCI Passthrough? My MoBo does not support IOMMU.

I have try all morning this and I had done all I can do, like I say, this works for usb memory sticks but for my HASP key didn''t work.
