You should only have ONE robotic control set up for the sharing of the 
library.  This MEDIA server will be responsible for handling all requests from 
the other media servers for media picking within the library.

Even though you may "see" the robotic control from the other media 
servers...don't be tempted to set it up as local control, but remote control 
and enter the server's name that is configured as the robotic control host.

All of the Media servers on the SAN should see the drives as "local" drives.  

However, you want to make sure that as you create them on your Master/Media 
server that you configured them as Multi-hosted drives and add all of the 
pertinent information for each media server as you create them (such 
as /dev/rmt/xxx).
