hostusb
Note this hook should not be used ever since 3.6 since the passthrough support for USB was implemented natively as part of hostdev-passthrough
Do not use this hook!
hostusb adds host’s usb device/s to VM. This hook is useful for VMs that need to access USB devices attached to the hypervisor host, most commonly HASP plugs
VM XML changes:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
<vendor id='0x1234'/>
<product id='0xbeef'/>
</hostdev>
Syntax:
hostusb=0x1234:0xbeef&0x2222:0xabaa
This maps to:
hostusb=VendorId:ProductId&AnotherVendorId:AnotherProductId...
Note: The VM must be pinned to host and this hook will fail any migration attempt.
Host attached USB devices can be viewed with lsusb
