Solved: Re: Are FC connected tape drives supported?

jose_maria_gonz · ‎01-14-2010

Hi There,

Just to clarify with you guys, Does vSphere ESX/ESXi 4 supports FC connected

tape drives?

My understanding is that in VI3 FC connected tape drives were not supported but correct me if I am wrong.

Thanking you in advance,

Saludos,

Hello.

"ESX/ESXi does not support FC connected tape devices." - p.29 of the Fibre Channel SAN Configuration Guide

Good Luck!
