Hi Handian,

Please see our User Guide page on supported devices and configurations for Tape Servers.

Pass-through of tape hardware devices to a VM are not supported; while such a configuration can work, it's not advised as it's not officially supported. If your tape hardware supports the connection via iSCSI, however, this can be used with a virtual machine tape server.

So either iscsi or a physical server will be the best options.
