[libvirt-users] SCSI tape drive device

I have a SCSI tape backup unit attached to a kvm host managed by 
libvirt.  Is there a way to expose the SCSI device in libvirt so I could 
pass the device to a virtual machine and have the virtual machine 
control the tape backup?

Defining the device as a SCSI disk does not appear to work.

In this situation, live migration is not an issue.  The VM would always 
be tied to this host.
