Modify the VM vmx config file, append params of below.
[root@ESXi-221:~] vi /vmfs/volumes/G200_VMware_LUN02/DESKTOP-DL25DK7/DESKTOP-DL25DK7.vmx usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE" usb.quirks.device0 = "0x96e:0x305 skip-reset,skip-refresh,skip-setconfig"
0x96e:0x305 is the usb Bus ID.
Edit settings of virtual hardware, REMOVE CD/DVD DRIVE, and then ADD NEW DEVICE - HOST USB DEVICE.
The CD/DVD drive will conflict with Feitian etoken, the USB drive of Feitian will start failed, so remove CD/DVD drive first.
