This is good in a sense, but say you have 10 tape drives for example.  If 
you are multiplexing other backups with the DB backups, does the RMAN 
policy write with LEVEL 1 multiplexing to separatae tapes and the other 
backups still take place for the other (assume MPX=4) 3 levels of 
multiplexing on the drive? Or does the MPX=1 job utilize the entire tape 
drive?  Does it make sense what I am mentioning?

Essentially you'd want separate tape media IDs for each server but you 
still want other servers writing for the other 3 levels of MPX on that 
tape.
