Dan,

You can put a copy pool and a primary pool on the same library without
splitting it.  I do that with my 4-drive HP DLT library.

Unless you're using the new (5.1) feature to simultaneously write primary
and copy tapes, there should be little drive contention, especially with
the number of drives you have.  Our primary pool receives data during the
night, and the copypool receives data during the day.  We are still using
4.1.

As long as there are scratch tapes in the library each pool will draw from
that supply as needed.
