[ovirt-users] RESOLVED USB Modem in a VM

It's working, in fact after the update from oVirt 3.4 to 3.5 my Cluster compatibility version was still in 3.4, I've changed it to 3.5 and the hostusb appeared...
Now the modem is well detected in my Windows 2008 VM.
Thank you very much everybody for your help
Alain

Yes I made this :
engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=hostusb=0x0572:0x1321"
and nothing appear on the Edit VM, only :
- sndbuf
- vhost
- sap_agent
- viodiskattach

Is there any possibility to verify ?
The first command I put engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=hostusb=true;another_property=regexp" following the doc, maybe this option is blocking the hook ?

you don't need to know python.
did you run the engine side commands (engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties... and restarted the engine)?
