We have master server with Netbackup enterprise 6.0 running on  solaris 8 & two media server having two HPESl 9300 series tape library with four drive in each Library.

We want to add now four drive in our our existing Library & connect it to third media server.

Please let me know is that possible.

Will this 3rd media server have direct access to the tape drives?  In other words, are the tape drives SAN-connected or are they SCSI connected to the existing media servers?

If the tape drives are SAN-connected, then what you want to do is fairly straight-forward.  You need to purchase the Shared Storage Option licenses and then you would configure the tape drives to use the right robot control hosts.  You can dedicate tape drives to media servers - one way to do this is to use SAN zoning.
