It has been a long time since we did this, but at one time we shared an STK L700 between multiple masters.
It required a license for ACSLS. At that time we had to pay STK for the license for ACSLS.
We ran ACSLS on a separate server.
A tape drive was assigned to one master or another.
There were rules to assign tapes checked into the L700 to the correct logical library based on volser.
The slots were virtual in the tape library.
There were special daemons that ran in the netbackup master/media server.

You should be able to do this, but it may require ACSLS and/or a license. Either way it will require partitioning to physically split the library into two separate areas for the different masters to use. You don't want them overlapping. Check the manual for
the library for the details on what you need to do.
