Hi All,

I have analysed my code and added the usb configuration while spawning the 
guest CMM. Unfortunately still the usb is not visible.
Could you please help me on this. 
I added this config   "-usb -usbdevice host:090c:1000 " . you can see in the 
last but one line  
Following is my config

/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -aos cmm -smp 2 -m 3072 -aosimage 
/flash/working/Mos.img -device virtio-prestera --enable-kvm -machine accel=kvm 
-qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:11364,server,nowait -netdev 
type=tap,id=eth0,ifname=tun0cmm,script=no,downscript=no  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth0,mac=2c:fa:a2:0a:29:46  -netdev 
type=tap,id=eth1,ifname=tun1cmm,script=no,downscript=no  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth1,mac=00:0a:1e:11:11:f8  -netdev 
type=tap,id=eth2,ifname=tun2cmm,script=no,downscript=no  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth2  -netdev 
type=tap,id=eth3,ifname=tun3cmm,script=no,downscript=no  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth3,mac=00:0a:1e:11:11:f8 -netdev 
type=tap,id=eth4,ifname=tun4cmm,script=no,downscript=no  -device 
virtio-net-pci,netdev=eth4 -nographic -pidfile /CMMGuestPid -append -usb 
-usbdevice host:090c:1000  "console=ttyS0 empipaddr=172.17.2.189 
empnetmask=255.255.255.0 empgateway=172.17.2.254 medora_early.ALU_VMSlotNum=0 
medora_early.ALU_VMPrimaryA=1 medora_early.ALU_VMIsCmm=1"

Have few questions please clarify.

1. Is it possible to add usb configuration once the guest is UP. That is 
dynamically adding the usb configuration 
2. Once the configuration is done,  should I unplug and plug the usb flash 
stick (pendrive) 
3. does lsusb show usb devices at guest also 

Regards,
Girish

The guest hardware is independent of the host hardware.  Devices plugged into 
the host do not automatically appear inside the guest.

How to make the flash drive available to the guest depends on how you are using 
QEMU.

Are you using a management tool like virt-manager or virsh?
virt-manager has a graphical user interface for passing USB devices into the 
guest.  Go to Details | Add Hardware | USB Host Device.
