That sounds like either a problem with the library or the
configuration.  The partitions should be independent just so you can do
this sort of thing.

If the drives are directly connected to the fabric, you're responsible
for zoning them to the right machines.  

If the drives go through the library for access, then maybe you can set
some access controls there.  

Since library partitioning is a logical construct, either the library
gives you a way to control access (WWN masking or something), or it
gives you independent physical ports that you can use.
