![]() ![]() I skipped a lot of the details, assuming you know or will figure it out. Music aside, I needed the shared virtual data disk for other compelling reasons as well, so there it is. I originally used that kind of setup and still do for some less-used music not on the virtual data disk. You can play music files from the host over the network using the VM's player if you don't want to use this virtual data disk idea. After partitioning the new disk, add an entry to fstab of the VM to mount it at the VM's startup. When you add this new disk to additional VMs, you are warned it is used by another OS, but you can add it anyway as long as you don't plan to have two VMs using it simultaneously. Virtual Data Disk: Use 'Add Hardware' button in the VM details page to create (if necessary) and add to each VM. I also have a separate virtual disk, that is mounted in the VMs, but not networked. If the 'separate disk' you envision is not virtual, you can connect via local network. would still like to use kvm and store library on separate disc). Guess I'm out of the USB passthru stuff on Windows. There are always dependencies that slow things down around here. My backup software broke with the python2->python3 move in 20.04, so I'm afraid to move it for now. The last one is also the backup server for the LAN, connected to multiple backup LANs. I have 3 VM-hosts.ġ of them isn't critical and will end up being the first of my older systems to be moved to 20.04 when that time comes.ġ of them is too critical to risk due to all the production VMs it runs. Tried to change to the qemu-xhci devide model and virsh edit refused.Įrror: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rngĮlement domain failed to validate content Put it back, quick! )Ĭontroller USB 0 (XML content) as follows:. That link says the model nec-xhci should work. When I look in the VM XML file, I'm seeing ich9-ehci1 as the model of USB controller show. says we have to use old versions of USB controllers. Time to google some libvirt, Windows USB controller passthru help. ![]() I don't use exFAT - ever, but this 1 time. Told it to format - the default was for exFAT, which I allowed. The removal had the expected sound, but the re-insertion did not.Įven connected the device to an old, old, old, Win7 machine here. It said that the device wasn't working properly and that I needed to remove and re-insert it. Just a second ago, saw a Windows popup about a new device, which I was able to click. I use virtio SCSI disk drivers from redhat in this VM - the QXL driver is from Redhat too, I think. Disk Manager, Device Manager, I did see that some "unknown device" was listed, but couldn't install a driver to make it work and at the end, Windows claimed the existing drivers were fine. Ok, I spent another 20 minutes screwing around with this and didn't get any farther. Shutdown, change VM settings (USB Controller 3 -> 2), restart the VM. It has a MSDOS Partition table and 1 partition FAT32. Tell Windows VM to redirect it and told disk manager to rescan for disks. Did a quick mount to ensure it was working:ĭe-mount it in Linux. Grabbed a Kingston microSD -to- USB3.1 converter dropped in a 64G FAT32 (had to reformat from f2fs) Samsung card, plugged it into the KVM host. Maybe I should try a different flash drive? the device isn't seen at all there either. Open MS-Exploder and there's not extra drive label. Ok, shutdown, added another USB Redirector, started the VM, File-> USB Device selected, no warning/errors. "there are no free channels." Perhaps I need 2 USB Redirectors minimal? Let's try that. It is not gray! Select the Flash Memory and get a warning. This change requires a reboot to become effective. I need to add one to Windows, yes? Add Hardware, USB Redirectory, Spice Channel. Looking at the Linux guest, I see 2 USB Redirectors setup in the VM HW list, but none are in the Windows VM HW list. Under Windows, it is emulating a USB3 controller. Let's check the USB Controller in virt-manager. Back in the USB Device Selection - I deselect the Flash memory and check the Windows File menu. a USB to PS2 keyboard + mouse)Īs expected. I selected that, a window popped up with 2 USB devices. I plug in a USB Flash drive, but for Windows VMs, the File -> USB Device Selection is gray.įor a 20.04 Linux VM, File -> USB Device Selection is available. I'll connect to a Windows host using SPICE. ![]() These all work, though CIFS has the same problems that CIFS always has.Īs for USB passthru. ![]() If you want sftp, Windows has filezilla or WinSCP. For shared storage, just use any network method that you would use between 2 physical systems. ![]()
