attaching FC tape library to a vm guest

I have read various instances whereby FC is not supported in ESXi 3.5 to connect to tape libraries. Can someone tell me if this is the case. If so, how would I go about connect the tape library. I am told there are some options including SCSI HBA (Adaptec only), SCSI Passthru, and PCI Passthru (ESX/i4.0).

Just to be clear I want to be able to present the tape library to the VM guest, specifically a Windows guest and using NBU. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

There's no virtual FC adapter which can be added to a guest, so I would say no. But I found this: http://communities.vmware.com/message/508855#508855
