Attach two Bluetooth Donlge to two different VM's with same vendor id

Post by t1me2die »

Hi Forum,

I've an little problem.
I'm using VirtualBox on an Intel NUC running Windows 10.

In the VM I'm running two different instancen with Ubuntu OS.
Now I want to connect a Bluetooth Donlge to every VM.

I've two USB Bluetooth Dongle with the CSR chipset. Both dongles are from different manufactors but they use the same vendor- / product id.

Is there an way to connect a specify device to an specify VM?

On linux I know that I can use the command
virsh attach-device Device-ID /path.to.an.XML/Mount_USB_Bluetooth.xml
There I could attach an special port to the VM.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

The USB device filters allow you to specify the serial number of the device that it looks for. Assuming that the USB bluetooth dongles you have are properly reporting serial numbers then you should be able to capture them that way.

What sort of picture did you try to upload? A screenshot? How did you try to upload it?

If you click on the Upload attachment tab below the text box you should be able to upload it.
