There's not much hope of a different media server being able to write to these tape drives. If you want a system to share tape drives, you need some sort of physical connection between the media server and the tape drives.
If you have a SAN but don't have your tape drives SAN connected, you could consider a fibre to SCSI bridge and share those tape drives. If you don't have a SAN at all, the costs probably aren't justified.

We have master server with Netbackup enterprise 6.0 running on solaris
8 & two media server having two HPESl 9300 series tape library with
four drive in each Library.
We want to add now four drive in our our existing Library & connect
it to third media server.
Please let me know is that possible.
Will this 3rd media server have direct access to the tape drives? In
other words, are the tape drives SAN-connected or are they SCSI connected
to the existing media servers?
If the tape drives are SAN-connected, then what you want to do is fairly
straight-forward. You need to purchase the Shared Storage Option
licenses and then you would configure the tape drives to use the right
robot control hosts. You can dedicate tape drives to media servers
- one way to do this is to use SAN zoning.
