Is it possible to access a SAS tape drive/library from a windows guest?
I have a windows 2008 R2 64bit guest running on a SLES 10 host. The host is connected to a Dell TL2000 tape library via SAS. I need to be able to access the tape library from my windows virtual machine. I haven't been able to find any documentation relating to this kind of configuration, so I suspect it's not supported in VBox. One possible solution would be to use a SAS-iSCSI bridge, but ideally I would like to avoid buying more hardware. I'd be really grateful for any advice.
