We have a STK-L180 library and LTO drives (all fibre channel) on a SAN
and even though it's not in use by amanda right now I did some tests
when we got the unit and I had no trouble driving the library with mtx
and the drives with mt so amanda would run quite happilly on such a
setup.

Bottom line: if you can drive the robot with mtx and the drives
with mt you're home free wrt amanda.
