Problem with attaching USB devices

Hi,

We have a server running Vspere 5 and we are having problems attaching a USB device. When we plug a device in and the click on the virtual machine, we can click the USB icon which you would use to attach but it says No USB Devices. Are we missing something as the devices we have tried are definately working?

Thanks,

Danny

Hi,

You should configure passthrough on your ESXi host, then you can add USB devices to your VM which connected to the host.
