Air Card(USB) not detected on VMWare ESXi 5.5

Hi everybody,

     I have some problem. I can use my flash drive via USB but when i plugged my Air Card(USB) on the same USB port, the VMWare not detected my Air Card(USB). I really need to use it for setting my SMS alarm so if everyone found the same problem like me pleaseeee share your resolution to me. ><

PS. My grammar is so weak, so sorry for that.

My air card is ZTE MF667C and my server board is Intel Server Board S3420GPLC

Please run this command

  1. Run this command to stop the usbarbitrator service:

    /etc/init.d/usbarbitrator stop

     
  2. Disconnect and reconnect the USB key . The device is automatically mounted under /vmfs/volumes/NO NAME/.  
  3. After using the device, start the usbarbitrator service by running this command:

    /etc/init.d/usbarbitrator start

Regards,

Hakim. B

Hi Hakim,

    

     I used the command /etc/init.d/usbarbitrator stop and start in my shell command mode. The command would completed but I still not detected my air card (like a usb) then I think I should mount it. I try to mount it and found my air card right now in SCSI device. I detected my air card like a CD/DVD not USB. How can I convert it from CD/DVD to USB device ?


So many thanks.
