After upgrade ESXi from 6.0 to 6.7 tape error: no media in drive

[Protey]

After upgrading to exx, the backup server began to give a no media in drive error during operations with a tape device. After studying the issue, it became clear that vmware stopped supporting tape devices as SCSI devices. Adding tape libraries to a virtual machine is only possible through passthrough of the PCI device.

My lab manual "How to add tape device to ESXi 6.7 and above" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ud_7JN ... sp=sharing
I hope it will be useful to anyone who encounters this problem.
