Tested the bug with: virt-manager-0.9.0-25.el6.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.600.0-24.el6.noarch Steps: 1.Check virt-install manual,--dredirdev has been added there. --redirdev=BUS[,OPTS] Add a redirected device. type The redirection type, currently supported is tcp or spicevmc. server The TCP server connection details, of the form ’server:port’. Examples of invocation: --redirdev usb,type=tcp,server=localhost:4000 Add a USB redirected device provided by the TCP server on ’localhost’ port 4000. --redirdev usb,type=spicevmc Add a USB device redirected via a dedicated Spice channel. 2.Use virt-install to set USB Redirection device options: # virt-install -n usbtest -r 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6.5-clone.img --import --graphics spice --video qxl --channel spicevmc --redirdev usb,type=spicevmc Starting install... Creating domain... 3. Check the xml file of the guest,it adds usb2 controllers by default. # virsh dumpxml usbtest <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x2'/> </controller> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <alias name='redir0'/> </redirdev> 4. Plug a usb disk on host,from virt-viewer console,the usb disk can be redirected successfully to guest. 5. Repeat the above steps to try usb redirection with tcp type. # usbredirserver -p 5000 0951:1656 usbredirparser: Peer version: qemu usb-redir guest 0.12.1, using 64-bits ids # virt-install -n usbtest -r 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6.5-clone.img --import --graphics spice --video qxl --channel spicevmc --redirdev usb,type=tcp,server=localhost:5000 Starting install... Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00 #virsh dumpxml usbtest <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <alias name='usb0'/> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x2'/> </controller> <redirdev bus='usb' type='tcp'> <source mode='connect' host='localhost' service='5000'/> <protocol type='raw'/> <alias name='redir0'/> </redirdev> As there are bugs 807277 and 1085318 to track usb redirection issues,option --redirdev in virt-install has been added and worked successfully,so move the bug to VERIFIED.
