There used to be limitations with VMWare and FC Tape Libraries.
How to do it technically depends on if it's MSL8096 SAS, SCSI or FC.
There is a User and Service guide here:

So if you have such model, it is time to cry.
Anyway, we tested it with ESX3.5 and MSL6030, it hanged so badly that only option was rebooting ESX... :(
But - one our vendors swear on his live he saw working FC library with working MA unde ESX... I consider it rumors... :)

But VCB is being phased out and should not be used in new projects.
It has been replaced by a new API.

Re: How to present MSL 8096 in Vmware Vsphere 4.1
1-Configure your storage router (In tape libary) to present the tape drives to the ESX hosts (mapping configuration).
2-Configure a zone with MSL and host ports
3-Rescan your HBAs
4-You should see the Drives and Tape Library.
To see it in a virtual machine perform a rescan of scsi bus.
echo "- - -" /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan (RHEL)
Greetings

Re: How to present MSL 8096 in Vmware Vsphere 4.1
Interesting solution but I read this:
SAN tape devices (FC and iSCSI) are not supported directly by VMware ESX host
So the solution is implementing the dataprotector integration. Anyone has implemented this solution?
Thanks in advance
