Veeam hosted on KVM with SCSI-passthrough tape

[ddujakovic]

Hello all.
Customer would like to implement following scenario:

Veeam VM server hosted on Red Hat KVM 2 node cluster and also wants to use Tape library connected to SAN network.
Would the configuration with configured SCSI-passthrough configured on Red Hat servers to VM work as well be supported with Veeam if/when problems occur?

Other scenario would be to install hyper-v and configure tape passthrough via virtual fibre channel.

Any thought on any of these?

We follow here what the vendors would support. Please check with your tape library vendor if the driver + hypervisor path through and tape library is supported in your scenario.
