HVD tape drive SCSI adapter

Hi There,

We have a HVD SCSI tape drive that is attached to our esxi 3.5 server using an Adaptec 2944uw controller. This controller is no longer supproted in vSphere 4.0. Can someone suggest an alternate card that is supported by vSphere 4.0 and up?

Regards,

Jerry McCarthy

Welcome to the forums.

You may be out of luck. HVD is pretty old technology. There are converters that transition between LVD and HDV. I used to use Spectralogic tape libraries that supported replaceable interfaces so you could check with the manufacturer to see if that is an option.
