Configuring tape drive on ESX 3i 3.5.0

In VMware 3i 3.5.0 U4 build 199239 (with installed fresh patch 199239, originally was 153875)
I don´t have an access to tape drive IBM DDS Gen SATA Tape (P/N 43W8480)
VMware is installed on IBM x3650 M2.

In VMware vSphere Client – configuration – storage adapters I see:
ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Conroller

But when I want to add new hardware for Virtual machin (Linux) I see:
SCSI device (unavailable),

All I see on service console is:
# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model
IBM DDS Gen5
# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/media
tape
# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver
ide-default version 0.9. newide

How can I map tape drive for guest OS (Linux)?
