Hi Kim29,
I recommend check our Supported Devices and Configurations page in the User Guide; pass-through of tape hardware through an ESXi host to a VM is not supported as noted in the User Guide. If your tape hardware can be presented to the tape server via iscsi, that is supported to go to a VM.
Our Tape FAQ here on the forums may also be useful for you to review
