USB 3.1 SuperSpeed devices still have the following virtual machine configuration requirement:

Starting with vSphere 5.5 Patch 3, USB 3.1 SuperSpeed devices are available for passthrough not only from a client computer to a virtual machine, but also from anĮSXi host to a virtual machine. When you disconnect the device from the virtual machine, it reconnects to the client computer's operating system and is listed as a removable device. When you disconnect the device from the virtual machine or shut down the virtual machine, the device returns to the client computer and becomes available to other virtual machines that the client computer manages.įor example, when you connect a USB mass storage device to a virtual machine, it is removed from the client computer and does not appear as a drive with a removable device.
When a virtual machine connects to a device, that device is no longer available to other virtual machines or to the client computer. USB device connections are preserved when you migrate virtual machines to another host in the data center.Ī USB device is available to only one powered on virtual machine at a time. The virtual machine retains its connection to the device while it is in an S1 standby state. You can add the devices only one at a time. You can add up to 20 USB devices to a virtual machine, which is the maximum number of devices supported for a simultaneous connection to one virtual machine. The controller must be present before you can add USB devices to the virtual machine. The controllers support multiple USB devices, such as USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus, USB 3.1 SuperSpeed, 2.0, and 1.1. Two USB controllers are available for each virtual machine. The USB controller hardware and modules that support USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus, USB 3.1 SuperSpeed, 2.0, and USB 1.1 devices must be available on the virtual machine. The USB controller is the USB hardware chip that provides a USB function to the USB ports that it manages. How USB Device Passthrough Technology Works USB passthrough technology supports adding multiple USB devices, such as security dongles, mass storage devices, and smartcard readers to virtual machines.
The vSphere Client must be logged in to a vCenter Server instance that manages the ESXi host where the virtual machine resides. You can add multiple USB devices to a virtual machine when the physical devices are connected to the client computer on which you run the vSphere Client.
