SCSI passthru support for ESXi and VCB proxy within a VM on local storage

Firstly - sorry if this has been answered in another thread - however my browser keeps crashing when doing a search of the forums and I don't have time to fix it!

Question 1 - Is SCSI passthru supported on ESXi - need to have a tape drive connected to a VM hosted on local VMFS?

Question 2 - My understanding is that VCB is supported to be run from within a VM on local VMFS storage to backup other VM's on the same local storage - correct?

Hopefully the answers to the above are yes as it would work out quite well for my clients remote offices!
