RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Todd 2015-05-14 06:35:38 UTC 
Dear Red Hat,

I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 6.6, x64

I can not map a USB 3 Flash Drive (stick) with virt-manager to a Fedora Core 21 virtual machine when the stick is inserted into my USB 3 controller:

$ lspci | grep -i usb
...
09:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720202 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 02)

Moving the stick to one of my USB 2 controller, un-mapping and re-mapping the stick in virt-mamager and the problem is solved.  (Of course, the stick runs far, far slower than it has to.)

Would you please add support for my controller?

Many thanks,
-T

Drove me nuts trying to figure this out!

Run line that does not work:

Comment 2 Todd 2015-05-15 23:27:47 UTC 
$ lspci | grep -i usb
...
09:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720202 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 02)

Specifically, this is a Star Tech PCIUSB3S22, 2 Port PCI SuperSpeed USB 3.0 
Adapter Card with SATA Power

Just got confirmed from Star Tech that this card is not bootable, so this may not even be a bug.  It depends on is qemm-kvm required that the hardware be bootable or not.  Be nice it it did not.
