I’ve always just moved the USB resource from the host to the client. Of course I think you need an HMC to do this and it can’t be required anywhere.

Believe it or not I have never tried this.

But the thing is treated as an optical device so I wonder if you could add the device name to the NWSD and share it to a guest? My guess is this won't work but worth a try.

You should be able to share the directory it mounts but that's rather indirect.

Has anybody ever virtualized the USB port on an IBM i hosting partition to
client partitions?
I see TAPE/OPTICAL just fine through my separate NWSD dedicated for those

But USB?
