[CentOS-virt] Issues with exposing USB serial dongle to guest VM
Hi. I have Centos 7 (updated) running as my host, and I?m using Qemu and KVM, version 2.0.0 and 2.6.0. I have a Trendnet TU-S9 USB serial dongle attached to the host, which uses the Prolific 2303 chipset. I blacklisted the pl2303 driver so the host doesn?t grab the device, and want to expose it to the guest. On the client, I see 2 USB hubs (3.0 and 2.0), and I see 2 USB endpoints (even though 3 are configured). So the USB CF card readers are visible, but not the USB dongle, even though it?s plugged in. Here?s what I see on the host: [philipp at kvm1 ~]$ ps -f -p13468 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD qemu 13468 1 2 14:51 ? 00:02:39 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name guest=ubuntu16.04-2,debug-threads=on -S

How do I verify that the parameters in the .xml domain definition are correct, and that they?re resulting in the correct args being passed to qemu-kvm when it gets exec?d? And why do the args: -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=15,id=hostdev3,bus=usb1.0,port=1 seem to be silently ignored? I understand that USB is inherently pluggable and hence the device may or may not be present at the time that Qemu gets kicked off? Looking at https://github.com/esminc/qemu/blob/master/Source/device-qemu/android/android-goldfish-2.6.29/Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt it claims that the PL2303 driver is supported. What am I missing? I need to access serial ports from several of my guest VMs, and my host doesn?t have built-in serial ports to USB dongles are my only option. Thanks, -Philip
