Switch usb device between virtualhere servers. How to maintain the same name of the usb device.

Submitted by cjghvieira on #1

Hi Michael.

We are, at the moment, migrating usb devices from an old virtualhere server to a new one.

We have about 69 usb devices on the old server, all of them with a customized name.

How can I migrate all of this usb devices to the new server maintaining the same name? Is there a database I can copy from the old server?

I've tried to copy the DeviceNicknames from the old config.ini file to the config.ini file on the new server but when I move a usb device from the old server to the new server it does not assume the its name from the old server.

Can you please help us with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Carlos

I recommend just naming them manually again.

Because if your USB devices dont have a serial number its impossible to identify them uniquely and they probably wont transfer across. If they all have serial numbers (take a look in the USB Propertes in the virtualhere client) then you can copy across the DeviceNicknames entry from the config.ini (while the server is not running and exited)
