In general, I'm pointing out that your posts need to be much more descriptive along the lines of what I point out. As to your specific query, those devices cannot be passed through. Not everything can be passed through to ESXi.

Thank you for your response. Happy to provide any additional information, but not sure what you need.

Is there a list of devices that are supported for passthrough for version 6.7?

Thanks again

The HCL often has this information. That aside, keep in mind that ESXi is an enterprise-class, bare-metal server OS that doesn't support desktop hardware. And, in general, passing through numerous pieces of physical hardware is antithesis to what virtualization is all about. You're better of dramatically restricting or eliminating it altogether.
