USBIOERR, abort pipe and NOT_BOUND

Hey All,

I'm having a problem with Workstation Pro 15 where the client won't connect to a USB drive. The error text is:

2019-09-09T07:42:35.265-07:00| vmx| W115: USBG warning: failed to abort pipe usbioerr 'NOT_BOUND'

I've had this error before and I believe that I corrected it with a VMX setting that did something like tell the VM not to use pipes or cache them or something like that but I can't find any reference to that no matter what I search on.

Does anyone who addressed this issue remember what the fix was?

Thanks,


TonyG

I found the answer - Adding this to the VMX solves the problem:

usb.generic.keepStreamsEnabled = "FALSE"

Apparently this has something to do with USB drives that tell Windows they're USB Attached SCSI (UAS) and this forces them back to just being USB.
