We currently have our NW server sharing several tape drives with a
dedicated storage node using DDS.  We're looking at implementing a
storage node (not dedicated) to reduce the load on our NW server.
Rather than using DDS to share drives between this new storage node and
the NW server, we'd like to dedicate several tape drives to just this
storage node.  If the NW server controls the robotics of the library,
can we assign drives to be used only by a storage node?

Yes - certainly you can.
