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.

> ISSUE
> ==================
> Apple Mac OS/X VM get created without USB controller. For mouse/keyboard to
> function in CS Console window VM has to have USB controller. It seems CS
> doesn't use the same procedure as native vSphere client because natively when
> OS is specified as OS/X vSphere always adds USB controller to empty VM shell.
> EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
> ==================
> USB device added to VM when created on CS
> ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
> ==================
> No USB device added
