[imran4840]

Hi Friends,

I have installed esxi 6.0 hypervisor in Dell Poweredge R730 server. Tandberg LTO5 tape drive is connected to the server through iscsi interface. I have created windows 7 vm and want to access the tape drive for backup purpose. After going through the different forums i have run the following command but its not working. Snapshot is attached.

Please help in this regards.

Thanks.
