Dell PowerVault 124T connecting to VMware 5.1
Hello, I have a customer that was converted to VMware 5.1 and they would like to use their PowerVault 124T to backup files on some of their VMs. I have read that tape devices are not supported on VMware 5.x, but I was wondering if anyone had any specific instructions on how to connect/present and setup the device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you provided a SCSI initiator card, it can be presented as I've posted above.

Thank you for the info. I was able to convince them to ditch the tape and go with Veeam to Synology box in the end!
Very Good +1 for Veeam!

Will the tape drive connect via scsi? I believe the current connection on the back of the device is sas.
