I was running vSphere 5.1 Web Client on Windows Xp.
I was able to connect USB drives on my PC to VMs via the Web Client.
When I would plug the USB drive to my Xp PC and select "Connect client device" in the Web Client, I would see the USB (Sandisk, Cruiser, etc).
After our department upgraded me to a new laptop with Windows 7, I no longer can connect USB devices to VMs.
When I plug the USB drive to my laptop and select "Connect client device" in the Web Client, I now see a list if devices but not the USB thumb drive.
The list shows,,
Connect to
- Logitech USB Optical Mouse
- Standard Ultra Fast Media Reader
- Broadcom 5880
- Dell Wired Keyboard
- Shared Broadcom Corp SmartCard 0
Any ideas on what needs to be done to get the USB to connect to the VM?
thanks
