In case of USB-NIC already enabled status the interface settings then there are no actions carried out by DSU hence failure is observed.

Solution: Change the state of USB-NIC in passthrough configuration to disable on iDRAC system and retry.

[iDRAC Settings->Connectivity->OS to iDRAC Pass-through->State]

Recommended to reset the iDRAC incase of conectivity failure.

For more information see, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide at www.dell.com/iDRACmanuals.
