Yes, that's what I would suggest (and what I have done here).

So, if I understand correctly, it probably makes sense to configure the
master server to be the robotic control host, no?

it to perform the robotic actions for them.  Drives are shared, robotic
control is not.  

So there's only one robot number per robot & only one media server has to
know that number.

Maybe a silly question, but this is my first foray into SAN attached 
backups. I have 9 SSO media servers, an SSO master, and 12 SDLT's 
dispersed between 2 robots. 

My question is, do the robor numbers need to be different among each 
media server, in other words 0-9? Or, will each robot be either 0 or 1, 
for instance? 

The reason that I ask, is that I've configured each media server with 
robot numbers 0 and 1 and when I attempt to inventory one of the robots, 
it fails with "robot number mismatch (61)" 

Thanks, 
Steve
