We are currently evaluating Vmware Horizion View as an alternative for industrial computers in our production area. The goal is to address
locally connected USB-to-Serial(4xRS-232/RS-485) interfaces (Moxa uPort 1450i) on a thin client with specific configuration for each single port.
We managed to passthrough the devices to the virtual desktop, but we're running into trouble with the enumeration of the devices in the
Horizon View Client / Agent (Vmware View Virtual USB HUB). It looks like the enumeration of the connected USB devices inside the virtual
enviroment is based on the sequence they get connected to the Thin Client, but not on the device ID of the physical USB port they are
connected to.
As the port configuration of the MOXA boxes is based on the device ID of the involved physical USB port, it's absolutely essential for us to get
this information to the virtual environment, I'm wondering if there is a way to change this behaviour?
Many thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Gerald Mueller
