I am somewhat new to hardware passthrough in VMware, it's not a simple as Hyper-V. Here is my situation; I have a new Dell T720 with an older SAS 5/e hba and and older LTO4 tape drive. I am running ESXi 5 and am trying to pass the tape drive through to on of the VM's for backups. I have search and can't really find a definate answer to whether or not this is possible. Some say yes while other say no. If it is possible, what are the steps?
Thanks in advance.
