PCI Passthrough with free hypervisor ?

Hi all,

I've a question regarding the free version of the VMware hypervisor.

Is that possible to do PCI passthrough with the free version ?

I want to allow a backup VM to access a local tape drive.

Thanks in advance

Martin

Hi weinstein5,

Thanks for your reply. Then is there something I should know about doing this on free version ? Will the passthrough stay after reboot ? Will the performances be like if I had a physical machine ?

Thank

Martin
