vSphere and F-Response USB Dongles

Dec 09, 2011

We recently had an opportunity to work with a newer vSphere 4.1 environment here in the office. One of the more interesting new features of vSphere 4.1 + is the addition of USB device forwarding. This means you can readily forward F-Response Dongles (both standard F-Response dongles, and F-Response TACTICAL) to guest virtual machines within vSphere(ESXi).

There's a great write-up on how to forward USB devices over at VirtualizationAdmin, we've linked to it below.

In addtion here's a screen capture showing a TACTICAL Subject dongle forwarded to a ESXi/vSphere Guest VM.
