Exposing USB port in VM?

[bumperdoo]

Hi,

TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.0.1

I'm trying to add a USB port to my VM but there doesn't appear to be a USB port option:

Virtual Machines | Devices | Add

Is it possible to pass a physical USB port through to the VM. An app we want to run in the VM needs to access a USB-based physical device.

SuperMicro H12SSL-NT
128TB - 8 x 16TB RDIMMS MTA9ASF2G72PZ-3G2E1
AMD EPYC 7543P
Samsung Pro 980 1TB qty 2 mirror (VM - Win 10)
Lexar NS100 128GB qty 2 mirror (TrueNAS OS)
WD Gold 16TB qty 8

Thanks.

Would I potentially have to add an AOC PCI board with USB and then use the "PCI Passthru Device," option instead of the MOBO's USB ports?

Today, it would need a dedicated USB card/device.

It is planned for Bluefin. https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-111020

Ok - ordered an AOC. I'll pass it through once it arrives. Thanks @morganL
