      Hello. I am working to migrate off of ESXi and onto XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra. I have a Tripp Lite SMART1000RM2U UPS that communicates with USB.

      With VMware ESXi I had a dedicated VM appliance running Ubuntu. I installed nut and passed through the USB device to the VM. Through testing I found that the standard usbhid driver did not work (the driver will even tell you that you cannot use it). I had success with the tripplite_usb driver (my UPS is old).

      I have created a new VM on XCP-ng. I moved the USB connection to the physical host running XCP-ng. With XO I configured a VUSB, stopped and then started the VM, and it comes through as connected. If I run lsusb I can see it listed in the guest VM.
      I have configured all of the files in /etc/nut on the new VM to match the old one, such as:

      maxretry = 3
pollinterval = 1

[tripplite]
	driver = tripplite_usb
	port = auto
	desc = "Tripp Lite SMART1000RM2U"
	vendorid = 09ae
	productid = 0001

      The issue I'm running into is that when I go to start the driver with sudo upsdrvctl start I start getting these errors:

      Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS / SMARTPRO driver 0.29 (2.7.4)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.

      I also on one occasion got:

Error reading protocol
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

      Is there a possible issue with how XCP-ng passes the USB device through that could be causing a problem with the guest talking to the device?

      Edit: I also tried running the driver manually with the -DD attribute and got this:

      Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS / SMARTPRO driver 0.29 (2.7.4)

        I used the PCI passthrough for my zigbee USB Dongle and it has been working perfectly since I installed it 2½ month ago

          Interesting idea. I am running on a Dell R710 and the USB controller is not listed as an available PCI device that I can passthrough to the guest VM. It does come up on the host as a PUSB device. The ESXi server was also an R710.
