Also check the status of usbarbitrator service in your base machine.

#chkconfig usbarbitrator --list.

By default it will be on.Means that the USB will be available to VMs on the host,but not to host.

If it is off,change it by using the command

#chkconfig usbarbitartor on

and then perform a reboot of the base host.

Right click the VM and Edit Settings,Add USB controller.

Now the USB will be available in your VM.

You can check the same by using esxcfg-scsidevs -c|grep -i usb ,if it is a ESX VM
