[virtualize] Re: USB Support on Dell 2850

They are the same in my terms ;) ... I just don't remember the bios
setting; it needs to be like Full Table APIC or something like that so
VMware can Usurp the IRQ's.  Is the VMkernel for you able to Usurp the
IRQ's?  I'm not sure if this helps you in the least by the way.   But
maybe if VMware is Usurping that IRQ used by the USB, maybe that's where
the problem is.....

 

It DOES usurp mine and I get an error for usb *FAILED* when the VMNIX
loads.  So I'm thinking if I wanted to use the USB, I might need to not
let the VMkernel Usurp that IRQ or try to take it back somehow after the
VMkernel grabs it.  One of the two ways possibly.

 

:-)

 

Here what I get when I do a 

 

                   dmesg | grep irq

 

At the COS prompt......

I've tried changeing the usb irq; and removing some additional NICs

USB is on ;)

 

IO-APIC vs APIC? You've got me stumped there what does that mean?

 

Nah, dell's not as clever as hp on that one :)

I have not done this at all :-).

 

Just a few more ideas - just in case (you most likely thought of these).


 

Have you changed the IRQ in the BIOS for the USB just to see if it fixes
it?  Made sure USB is on in the BIOS (I know DUH!).  Have you made sure
you have IO-APIC is enabled or Full Table APIC.  I forget what it's
called.  Does the DELL server have a setting for the OS type like the
HP/ Compaq's?

David, 

 

Yes, seen this and followed the destructions but it actually makes
matters worse 

 

I'm running 2.5 with the latest patch - adding the device appears to
work - it appears in \proc\scsi\scsi and in \proc\bus\usb\devices but I
get the following messages in the log:

duplicate path or on a passive path

 

 

Now, if I follow the instructions in the article - I don't get this,
instead I'm told that the device has no device drivers 

 

:(

 

So, I just wanted to know if anyone else has done this successfully - in
which case they can maybe tell me what they did and then I will gladly
have their children...

Hello Andrew.

 

Have you seen this link from VMware on USB and the COS?

http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1326

Make it a great day.

Hi, 

Has anyone worked through q1326 to create a /etc/rc3.d/S91usb file and
then got it to work? 

I'm banging my head of the wall trying to get a USB drive connected to
the VM Console which works just dandy on my old kit but refuses to play
on the new :(

Tia.
