Hello,
I've recently installed an IBM server 3550 M3 (type 7944), and VMWare vSphere 5.0 (Build 821926).
I''ve installed a VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1.
But i'm having issue connecting a SAS IBM tape drive TS2240 type 3580-H4V.
The tape drive is connected through LSI 2008 & it’s in vmware compatibility list .
As explained in the below article . I have assigned The IBM tape drive to “virtual device node” to SCSI (1:0) ,
