[libvirt-users] USB Passthrough of two identical devices

[Hendrik Friedel]

Hello,

I re-post my question from some days ago, as I got no reply..
Please let me know, if my question is unclear, or if I can do anything 
to make answering it easier.
I appreciate your help.

Greetings,

Hello,

I'd like to pass throug two identical devices to my VM. (using libvirt,
guest is debian). For one device, it works like this:

              <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
                            <source>
                               <vendor id='0x4fa'/>
                               <product id='0x2490'/>
                             </source>
                            <boot order='2'/>
                         </hostdev>

But now, I have another device just like this one:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04fa:2490 Dallas Semiconductor DS1490F 2-in-1
Fob, 1-Wire adapter
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04fa:2490 Dallas Semiconductor DS1490F 2-in-1
Fob, 1-Wire adapter

Unfortunately, only one of these two devices appears for the Guest, even
if I duplicate the above entry.

Now, there's this option to pass devices:

   <address bus='0x06' device='0x02''/>

But the Bus/Device can/might change... Maybe this can be overcome by
udev (and maybe this is the default in ubuntu? can someone confirm?)

I have tried the latter syntax aswell. Here the log-file:
Code:

LC_ALL=C
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -cpu qemu32 -enable-kvm -m 256
-smp 1 -name WG -uuid fd90f0d6-122c-992f-a399-4105ee30d6e3 -chardev
socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/WG.monitor,server,nowait
-monitor chardev:monitor -boot c -drive
file=/var/lib/zentyal/machines/WG/WG-Test.qcow2,if=scsi,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow2 

-net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:5d:c7:9e,vlan=0,name=nic.0 -net
tap,fd=29,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -usbdevice
mouse -vnc 0.0.0.0:0,password -k de -vga cirrus -usbdevice
host:04fa:2490 -usbdevice host:04fa:2490
usb_create: no bus specified, using "usb.0" for "usb-host"
husb: open device 1.5
husb: config #1 need -1
husb: 1 interfaces claimed for configuration 1
husb: grabbed usb device 1.5
usb_create: no bus specified, using "usb.0" for "usb-host"

What's odd in this:

   -usbdevice host:04fa:2490 -usbdevice host:04fa:2490

And this, although I had used the bus/device syntax...



So, what would you recommend?

Hendrik
