Hi All
I presume,
NBU enterprise CAL offers benefits for end customer, especially if they are using VIrtualization
1 ENT CAL per host hyper-visor server
1 App & DB pack per host hyper-visor server (if database needs to be protected within guests)
i'm bit confused with below scenario
For SAN media server also we do require ENT CAL
If Hyper-V would be SAN media server
how many ENT CAL would be required 1 or 2 ???
As far i know till now we cannot make Tape Drives visible to Guest VMs (Would appereciate if anyone who did this).
If it's possible to do zoning then do we require ENT CAL and SSO per Guest VM or host hyper-v ENT CAL includes all this features.

count license per physical host
If you purchased Enterprise Client, you will be entitled all of Enterprise Client feature on the physical server.
You can use virtualization backup option(NetBackup for VMware or NetBackup for Hyper-V), Snapshot Client, SAN media server on physical host and all VMs running on the host, as far as it supported.
You can take Hyper-V VM backup, also you can configure SAN media server on VM running on the entitled host.
By the way, tape device on VM is not supported. On VM, you can not configure SAN media server with tape devices, also SSO. You can configure SAN media server VM with disk storage unit only.

I tried zoning in a guest os,
I tried zoning in a guest os, I used hyper v. Zoning was successful but server makes slower.
As a POC we used VMDirectPath
As a POC we used VMDirectPath to configure a guest with direct access to a HBA attached to a tape library. As Yasuhisa pointed out this is an unsupported configuration, however it does work. We still use VMDirectPath now with one of our virtual media servers for vStorage API to backup our VMware environment. As long as the virtual media server is writing to disk, it is supported.
hope so near future we get
hope so near future we get similar functionality as new improvement in seem less virtulization
Cheers !!!
