ESXi 6.0: PCIe 1394 controller fire wire to fire wire communication

I have Target machine that i want to debug from host on ESXi 6. They both have PCI 1394 cards. Card in ESXi I have passthrough to windows 8.1 virtual machine and using windbg I want to debug Target machine.

But I got problem when I chose Kernel debug and 1394 windbg can't connect.

Using 1394 for debugging

Checking 1394 debug driver version.

Opened \\.\DBG1394_INSTANCE01

Timer Resolution set to 1000 usec.

Waiting to reconnect...

I check with using other machine that communication and settings on Target are fine. Should I have some specific drivers for ESXi or debugging from VM is not possible.

Device manager on host looks like this:

I am ot sure why there is 1934 Debuger device and 1394 OHCI host controller. Win8.1 is fresh installation.
