Hi VMWare community,
I recently upgraded a stand alone ESXi from 5.0 to 6.5 (Build 7967591).
On the host, there are several guests, mainly Windows 2012 R2. After upgrading, the connected USB-disks are not being shown any more.
I cannot add a USB-disk to an existing VM any more.
Same with newly generated guests: I just installed a Windows 2016 Standard on the host, tried to add an USB-disk - no success.
ESXi sees the disks:
