Hi All,

Finally I was able to pin-point the issue.
Just in case ones needs this.


ovirt by default enables USB 1.0 controller.

To enable USB 2.0 controller go to

At ovirt engine at config file below, change the controller from piix3-uhci to piix4-uhci as below:

/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/00-defaults.properties


os.other.devices.usb.controller.value = piix4-uhci


then restart engine:
systemctl restart ovirt-engine


USB device then is attached successfully at Windows VM.

Hi All,

I have Ovirt 4.1 with 3 nodes on top glusterfs.

I Have 2 VMs: Windows 2016 64bit and Windows 10 64bit

When I attach a USB flash disk to a VM (from host devices) the VM cannot see the USB drive and report driver issue at device manager (see attached). This happens with both VMs when tested.

When testing with Windows 7 or Windows XP USB is attached and accessed normally.

Have you encountered such issue?
I have installed latest guest tools on both VMs.

Many thanx
