We have 2 STK 9310 Libraries (Powderhorn) controlled by a single ACSLS running
on Solaris.
One library is home of 8 9840 drives attached to RS/6000 S7A via SCSI, the
other is home of 8 3590E drives attached to a different S7A via fibre channel
(switched). All drives are used exclusively by 2 x 2 TSM servers, i.e. on each
S7A there are two TSM servers each with 4 drives, virtually 5 Servers, if the
other servers running with IBM 3494 libararies are taken into account.
After some initial problems which were solved by upgrading to the newest ACSLS
patch level the configuration is quite stable now.

So far the environment is what you are asking for except of the different
platforms, sorry for that ;-).
