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 :-(
