ESXi 4.1 and Serial ports passthrough

[k1pp3r]

Has anyone worked with Hypervisor 4.1u1 and been able to pass througha serial ports?

I have a SIIG dual port serial card that VMWare does not appear to see and can't pass it through.

Does anyone know a serial card for PCI express that works with VMWares 4.1?

You can use the serial port without using VMDirectPath I/O. Just in case that is what you're doing, I'm posting this. If you're already trying it this way, then I've got nothing .

Go to the settings on a VM, click to add a new device, then add a serial port and map it that way. You should get a drop down with the available physical ports.

Yep i tried it without direct path, simply because direct patch does not see the SIIG card
