Re: [ovirt-users] host usb
2016-06-16 6:39 GMT+02:00 Fernando Fuentes <ffuentes(a)darktcp.net>:
I am now getting this when I try to start it:
VM methub is down with error. Exit message: Hook Error.
To get the hostusb setup I did:
engine-config -s
"UserDefinedVMProperties=hostusb=^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{4}:0x[0-9a-fA-F]{4}$"
ovirt-engine restart
and the host has the usb hooked installed.
But when I go an add the custom property "hostusb" the vm wont start.
Again this is on oVirt 3.6 Centos 6.5 x86_64
and a host of Centos 7 x86_64
Any ideas?
TIA!
Hi Fernando,
in 3.6 to pass an host USB device to a VM you don't need an hook as it
is now standard in the system.
But if you have vdsm from 3.6.6 it doesn't work because of a bug. It
has already been corrected and if you update vdsm* to 3.6.7rc it will
work. I had the same problem but now it's OK.
Going to the administration portal after the upgrade you should see
your USB device in the "Host devices" tab of the "Host"; if it
isn't
there clik "Refresh Capabilities" and it should come up.
Then you go to "Virtual Machines", select your VM, then "Host
devices"
and "Add device" and you're almost there.
I learned this thanks to something posted in this list and probably a
bugzilla too but I'm unable to find it ATM.
If you see references to IOMMU ignore them unless you need to expose a
PCI device.
HTH,
Giorgio.
