How to connect the SCSI tape drive to comments

New user of VMWare here - I like it so far.  In any case, I have a LTO3 SCSI drive, I would like to use with one of our virtual machines running on our host ESXi 4.1.  I installed a LSI 53 c 1030 SCSI HBA, appearing on the HW compatibility list.  The drive is an HP Ultrium 920 LTO3.  I use BackupExec 12.5 x 64 on the VM (Win2K8 R2 x 64).

I can't find clear instructions for setting this up in ESXi.  Nothing in the implementation or the Config Guide.  I'm not if I use passthrough or without passthrough, etc..  Can someone tell me the good documentation on how to get this set up and work or by post simple steps to get the virtual machine, see the HBA/drive?

TIA

Hello

If you had plugged the band to the HBA and then restarted the server, you can go to your virtual machine, and then change the settings and in the Hardware tab, add hardware.

Go to SCSI devices and add the tape to the virtual machine.

In other words, if your hardware supports, enable passthrough for the host HBA, in configuration, settings in advance.

Then reboot and go to the settings of the virtual machine, adding hardware and click on PCI device, add the HBA to this virtual machine.

    I have a G5 DL385 (AMD of the DL380 version) with a DLT3.   I use an Adaptec 29320LPE, appearing on the compatibility list.  We plugged a HP Ultrium 920 changer using the 'old method' SCSI passthrough.  We bought the Adaptec card, because we used initially ESX3.5.  We are now on ESX4.0, but for various reasons, the configuration left the same, so I have not tried with VMDirectPath I don't know if it is possible to use the SC11ex card, but if you arrive VMDirectPath at work, it seems then you need another SCSI card.

    You must have a file for each virtual computer vmx.

  • How to load the scsi paravirtual driver during the installation of the OS?

    Hello, I'm hoping to build a new machine virtual Windows on ESXi v4 using the new paravirtual (pvscsi) scsi controller.  Windows obviously has no embeddeed of disks in the operating system install disk and VMware has not posted a picture of virtual floppy device drivers.  Anyone know where I can find the drivers installed.  FYI - I tried to change SCSI LSI to PVSCSI on a windows Server 2008 who have already installed the VMware Tools and operating system wouldn't start.

    To my knowledge, PVSCSI driver is not supported as a starter-Controller, so you must user a LSI for the boot drive and the PVSCSI for the data drive.

  • PowerEdge R415 - external SCSI tape drive?

    I was looking through the updates available for the R415 find a scsi interface card. I do not see an extra, but was hoping someone could point me to a compatible card. It is necessary to connect to scsi tape drives.

    Oly_R,

    The adapter you need is the LSI 2032. As long as found on page 9 of the R415 technical guide - http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/misc/r415_tech_guide_11_18_10_final.pdf

    The LSI2032 part number is NU947.

    Let me know if that answers your question.

  • Through host SCSI tape drive to the virtual computer with the backup software installed in the comments

    Can I attach an external SCSI tape drive to one of my hosts, and then add it as a device in a virtual machine.

    I want to use backup exec on a virtual machine, rather than having to have a separate physical server to attach the tape drive. I realize that I wouln't be able to vmotion the guest but as its only going to be a backup machine I am happy with that.

    Thanks in advance,

    Yes is possible.

    I have a Dell TL2000 with a dedicated SAS card and it works (not faster than in a real environment, but works).

    You add the SCSI ID of the tape (and the library, if any) to the virtual machine.

    Or, if your hardware can he take charge, using VMDirectPath and give the card on the virtual computer.

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.
