Re: [Fedora-xen] kvm usb support
OK I have it working ......
I had created a winXP VM as kvm with its disk as slice /dev/sda3
I can launch it directly from the command line with qemu /dev/sda3 ...
to get usb working (I got a usb flash disk working)
did a lsusb and found the device:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 08ec:0015 M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Kingston
DataTraveler ELITE
then launched the kvm host with:
"qemu -usb -usbdevice host:08ec:0015 /dev/sda3"
it took a little bit but the device was recognized and I can access it
and use it under the kvm host.

In a nutshell .. How do I enable usb support in a kvm host?
what I know so far ..
usb support can be enabled just like in qemu
(which I found was :
-usb enable the USB driver (will be the default soon)
-usbdevice name add the host or guest USB device 'name'
)
I created and launch this kvm host with virt manager --- I do not know
where to add these flags in virt manager to launch the host and could
not locate a command line for kvm to enable the usb support. Am I
missing something here?
I am using Fedora 9 (patched to latest) and my kvm host is blecckkkk ..
winxp (not going to go into why I need it but suffice it to say I need
it)
thanks for input in advance for this, I will continue to scour the web.
