Axel,

We are running Netbackup 3.4 on VCS 1.3 with 6 Tape Drives (STK Fiber 9840).
The two nodes are configured as media servers and they can see all the tapes
drives as they are all connected to the SAN.
We also use SSO to manage the reservation of these tape drives....I don't
think there is another way to
share the same tape drives.

Frederick
