I am a VM novice and having to setup a small business solution for myself.<br /> <p /> I have a IBM x3650 with an internal SATA tape drive (DDS5), and have now installed ESXi 4. It does not appear to have picked up the hardware, although I can see 2 SCSI devices and a CDROM device. 1 SCSI is the disk, the other identifying as 'enclosure'... is this the tape device?<br /> <p /> How can I get the tape device to be presented to the OS?<br /> <p /> Thanks for any help!<br /> <p /> <br /> Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:29:09 GMT spurs20 http://communities.vmware.com/message/1306062?tstart=0#1306062 2009-07-08T22:29:09Z 4 months, 2 weeks ago 1 http://communities.vmware.com/message/1303008?tstart=0#1303008 I am running the lastest version of esxi 3.5. I have an XP VM that I would like to pass my tape drive through too. When I edit vm settings it detects the Tape drive fine. the problem occurs when I try to boot the VM I get a could not find file error. I will post the exact error when I have access to it.<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <br /> Any ideas Welcome<br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <br /> Matt Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:30:44 GMT f1ngertips http://communities.vmware.com/message/1303008?tstart=0#1303008 2009-07-06T08:30:44Z 4 months, 3 weeks ago 2
