Description of problem: We have tried adding the USB device connected to the host to discover it on the guest . IN case of the RHEL guest it gets detected while for the Windows 10 we are not bale to discover it Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version of the ovirt-manager :4.3.5.3-1.el7 Version of the host : ovirt-host-4.3.1-0.0.master.20190115090506.gitc8ad67d.el7.x86_64 ovirt-release-master-4.4.0-0.2.master.20190723000137.gitea53f6e.el7.noarch vdsm-4.30.8-9.gitf28e377.el7.x86_64 vdsm-hook-hostusb-4.20.2-1.el7.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed vdsm-hook-hostusb and then configured the manager node with engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=hostusb=^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{4}:0x[0-9a-fA-F]{4}$". Restarted the engine services 2.Add a custom key, select hostusb and enter the key. The format must be 0xHHHH:0xHHHH. 3. Additionally I also added host device to the VM as "usb devices" 4. Additionally for Windows I enabled USB support by editing the VM Actual results: The USB got detected in Linux but not in Windows 10 VM Expected results: USB should have been detected in Windows 10 Additional info: Please let me know if I am wrong with the steps and if you can provide the actual doc or steps for configuring USB passthrough. Note : We are in teh stage of migrating our server from Vmware to Ovirt/RHEV. This feature has been of utmost importance for our telecom application as it ony runs on Physical PC and Vmware based client nodes. So I would request to check this on priority . Thank you
lsusb would be useful Some devices use a multiple stage initialization, and identifying the actual device will help check Note that since 4.0, vdsm-hook-hostusb is not needed, and should not be used. Does this work without it?

Could you please share the correct procedure to have this enabled . Also, I would like to know if we can work on this Service request in my time zone so the we can exchange more upadates and can close the issues I am working in Indian Standard time zone (GMT +5:30 )
Bugzilla is kind of asynchronous by nature. Mailing lists (users@ovirt.org) and IRC (oftc/#ovirt) may get a more immediate response Is it present in the device tree in Windows? If redirection from a SPICE console is what you want, please ensure that the guest tools (and usbdk) are installed. If you want it there all the time, was the device selected under host devices in the engine? If so, screenshot of the settings?
Hi Ryan, Super, I had just installed usbdk and not the guest tools . Now When i installed the guest tool and rebooted I am able to see the Device. Thank you so much for following up with me on priority and helping me out. THis was blocker for us and now e can go forward to implement it in our infra. As Always Red Hat been the champion in the Industry. Thanks a lot. You can mark the bug as closed.
One more query before we go closing the case. I see some of the host nodes are having the option of "hostusb" under the edit options of Custom Properties When we list the keys from the dropdown. Could you please let me know what can be the reason behind it . The Windows VM wheere its working now is hosted on the hypervisor node where no such options are listed as "hostusb" under the edit options of Custom Properties
that's from the time when you tried to use the hostusb hook. you can reverse the steps you did when you installed it (modify UserDefinedVMProperties). It's harmless anyway
