I was actually able to squeeze a little bit more time out of the Maintenance Window. My results below.

I attempted to pass through an onboard PCI USB2.0 controller and it would not work. When the VM got started a message came up saying "Device xxx is not a passthrough device".

So to summarise

IBM x3100 M4 Machine Type: 2582E4M

VMware ESXi 5.1.0, U2 (1483097)

Onboard PCI USB 2.0 controller - FAILED - Message "Device xxx is not a passthrough device".

Dedicated PCI USB 3.0 controller - SUCCESS

In my opinion the main point to take away from this is there is greater chance of success passing through a Dedicated PCI USB device than an onboard one.

Once again thanks to vNEX for his contribution Smiley Happy
