I need to share it via iscsi for my older backup server. There is a passtrough feature on the Proxmox Cluster that I previously used but I had problem using it. Moreover, with the need of sharing the tape drive on two devices, iscsi is a good solution Historically we got this virtualisation solution which work well most of the time but not reallly fine for I/O but I have to do with it :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
