CLOUDSTACK-8854: Apple Mac OS/X VM get created without USB controller in ESXi hypervisorsCLOUDSTACK-8854: Apple Mac OS/X VM get created without USB controller in ESXi hypervisors
Problem Description: CloudStack doesnt add a USB controller to the Apple Mac OS X VMs created in ESXi hypervisors. But, vSphere Client, by default, adds a USB Controller to the Mac OS VMs. Mac OS X machines require USB Controller for USB mouse and keyboard access.
Root Cause: The Guest OS details are specified in the Virtual Machine Configuration Spec for creating the VM (using the SDK API) in the EXSi hypervisor. No USB Controller is added to the Virtual Machine Configuration Spec. As the guest OS Identification details are specified in the VM Configuration Spec, It is assumed that the Create VM SDK API would create the defaults in the VM same as vSphere Client. But, as per the observation, USB Controller is not added to the Guest OS - Mac OS VM created through the SDK API.
Resolution: When the Guest OS is Apple Mac OS, Add the USB Controller (EHCI+UHCI - Mac supported) to the Virtual Machine Configuration Spec before Creating or Starting the VM. For any existing Mac OS VMs, Stop and Start to add the USB Controller. For new VMs with Mac OS, USB Controller is added automatically.
