You've hit the &quot;nail on the head&quot;. &nbsp; &nbsp;My hyper-v box is the perfect place for my two scsi tape drives. &nbsp; I'm trying to connect them to the virtualized server when it occurred to me that I might just install the app directly on the hyper v platform. &nbsp; &nbsp;In light of your advice, I will change direction back to installing with the virtualized server. &nbsp; Thanks.<br />

Is it possible to connect my virtualized server with the two internal scsi tape drives? &nbsp;I see the reference to SCSI in the hyperv virtual server settings.

Is it possible to connect my virtualized server with the two internal scsi tape drives?  I see the reference to SCSI in the hyperv virtual server settings.

After speaking with a Symantec Technician who specializes in Hyper V installations. &nbsp;I've installed my Backup exec software directly on the Hyper V platform and have my Scsi Drives installed and working. &nbsp; I love it. &nbsp;It's fast, reliable and a great solution. &nbsp;Just thought I would update

Hyper-V

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
