We have a filer with his own robot and other filers (15 or so) using a robot 
attached to a sun box.  In our Austin site, the robotic are attached to an HP 
box.

So, yes, you can do this.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP tape drive access


Is it possible for a Network Appliance file server to be attached to a tape 
library that is shared with a Unix media/slave server where the slave server 
has control of the robotics and still use NDMP for backups of the NetApp 
server. I my experience with NDMP to date, the NDMP host had full control and 
the only attachment to the tape library.

Thanks,
