Again USB passthrough issues

Hi all,

I'm running ESXi 6.7u2 on a Supermicro mini server.

I had no issue with older ESXi releases but with this one here I can't manage to see USB devices available for passthrough in the UI.

I've followed another discussion where a bug was fixed with 6.7u1 but still I can't manage to make USB devices seen by the VM.

I've tried adding a USB controller, 2.0 and/or 3.0 but still nothing.

through the CLI the device is seen (see below) but it doesn't appear available in the UI (it's all greyed out)

Any clue??

thanks!

Did you check hardware compatibility before upgrade?
