can't stress enough that this is a nightmare and it is an unsupported
configuration!

I have an existing Win2k master media server that is connected to a STK L700
via a SAN. I also have a HPUX 11 client that we want to make a second
master media server. Can this second master share the same L700? The
reason we want to make it a media server is it has too much data now to
backup over the network. The reason we want to make it a master is for
disaster recovery. The two masters would be recovered in different
locations in the event of a disaster. A second library was our first
choice, but we don't have money for it this year.
Thanks,
Brad Hillebrand
