Backup VMWARE 5.5 via FC

Hi all,

My system has :

  1. 1 x Server windows 2008 x64 running Symantec Backup Exec ( license ) + vcenter 5.5
  2. 1 x SAN Switch
  3. 2 x server vSphere 5.5
  4. 1x SAN storage
  5. 1x Tape Autoloader ( FC )

All of them connect to SAN switch 8 Gb .

Is there any solution to configure the Symantec Backup Exec to backup all the VMs to FC tape via SAN switch ?

Thank you so much .

Be warned, that vmware is making subtle changes and updates to vsphere 6.0+, that in 2yrs time you will not be able to use SAN transport anymore.
