You're not really sharing your standard media server's drives.

They don't really "belong to" the standard media servers...the standard
media servers are just another server reserving shared drives.

Each media server, *AND* SAN media server will need an SSO license, and
you will need an SSO licence per shared drive.

4 drives and 8 servers, = 4 SSO drive licenses and 8 SSO media server
licenses.
