Tutorial 3: Enabling L-series USB support in VMware

ESX3.x

VMware’s ESX 3.x platform does not normally support USB on virtual machines. However, since vSpace and

the L-series access devices transparently redirect USB to the virtual machine itself, VMware ESX doesn’t have

to be involved in generating USB support to a Windows XP virtual machine.

To enable L-series Windows XP USB support from a VMware ESX virtual machine, you just need to copy

Windows XP’s seven "USB core files" into the virtual machine OS image prior to installing NComputing vSpace.

These seven files can be found on the standard Windows XP Professional install CD.

The files to copy to the virtual machine file system and then rename are:

Filename on WinXP install CD File on C:\Windows\system32\drivers directory

usbd.sy_ -> usbd.sys

usb.in_ -> usb.inf

usbmon.dl_ -> usbmon.dll

usbport.in_ -> usbport.inf

usbport.sy_ -> usbport.sys

usbohci.sy_ -> usbohci.sys

usbuhci.sy_ -> usbuhci.sys

After performing all the file copy/renames, simply install NComputing vSpace on the VM, restart it, and

USB support should now work from the L-series device
