You might try something I've been planning on doing once I get an
additional dedicated host machine to attach my LTO2 drive to, which is
to publish the tape library as an iSCSI target and connect to that from
the new server.  (The only reason I haven't tried this yet myself is
that I'm waiting on an extra machine capable of supporting both U160
SCSI and Gig-E, but with moderate power consumption.  Right now I don't
have anything suitable, though I suppose I do have a Sun U30 I could use
for proof of principle.)
