Yes.  Use the SAN.

Library 1 contains device class 1 and storage pool 1 ......  library 2
contain copy storage pool of 1 and device class 2 .

Guess where library 2 is located?

        Hi,

        would it not be possible to copy the primary pools from site A
directly to a
        sequential pool in site B, by sharing robotics between A and B ?
This would
        eliminate the need to establish server-to-server connections,
