Vsphere + Bladecenter S + HS22 + IBM ts3200 SAS

Hi guys,

 

I have an infrastructure like this :

 

IBM Blade HS 20-21-22 blade servers on a Bladecenter s Chassis. Qlogic Sas switch and a IBM TS 3200 Library ( 3580 TL series). All of my blade servers are ESX 4, and of course vcenter 4 server installed.

 

The Ts 3200 library connected to chassis through SAS interface ( Addtionaly, library has a Fibre Channel controller, bladecenter has no fc switch   )

 

One of my VMs as installed as a backup server. Added a large vmdk ( 1 TB ). and formatted into VMs windows as a ntfs volume.. I use veeam to backup other vms. It works perfectly.

 

But veeam cannot backup to library. Veeam backup other VMs to large vmdk.

 

 

Problem is here  :  I want to use ts3200 for  backup Veeam's backup files to cartridge. I was add a scsi device to vm as IBM Tape device. Windows can see Library, but cannot use it. 

 

Problem is here !! I cant use ibm library. Either device freezes and vm stops responding ( into windows ), or can see and install driver but doesnt work.

 

I tried to symantec backup exec to write data to cardtridge. Symantec drivers are ok but, in symantec backup exec, i cant see library.. Screenshot is below.

 

 

I know, this may very complex question.But i need to backup to tape..

 

There are 3 screen shot :

 

1. normal physical server.

 

2. virtual machine

 

3. vm scsi conf

 

Guys, any suggestions ?
