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!

I'm not sure how hostusb hook and proper hostdev solutions work together, could assigning the device through the more robust 'hostdev passthrough'[1] feature work for you? [1] http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/hostdev-pass...
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.

Giorgio, Thanks for your reply. Where can I get vdsm from 3.6.7* for my host? Thanks again!

From the oVIrt site: "In order to install oVirt 3.6.7 Release Candidate you've to enable oVirt 3.6 release candidate repository" so you better use intructions in http://www.ovirt.org/release/3.6.7/
Obviously you have to put the host in mantenance before upgrading vdsm but this is a normal operating procedure. Best Regards, Giorgio.

Giorgio, Thanks! The update to vdsm did the trick. Thanks again! Regards, -- Fernando Fuentes ffuentes@txweather.org http://www.txweather.org On Thu, Jun 16, 2016, at 09:21 AM, Giorgio Bersano wrote:
