Hi folks,
Im tearing my hair out over this one.
I have spent the last day poring over google and trying to work out how to mount a USB drive from my host device to my VM on ESXi 6.5.
I have added a USB Host controller without issue. However, there is no further option available to add a Host USB Device (as i have seen on some tutorials) or to Select USB Device from the menu in VMRC - in VMRC I only have the option for DVD, Floppy(!), and Network adapter, but no USB (not even a greyed out option).
I even tried to enable Passthrough so that at least I could connect the drive to the server host and perhaps access the USB device that way, but that didnt work either.
Is there anybody that can help here with perhaps a checklist? Am I missing some settings buried deep within the advanced settings panel?
For such a relatively simple thing (it was so simple in VMWare workstation) - I just cant fathom why its not working.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!
Best.
TP
