Wayne - just create more virtual drives on the VTL and assign them to the new 
media server.
I have 3 media servers with 5 drives on each assigned to a VTL, 15 separate 
virtual drives, not SSO.
Your limiting factor will be the TAN (switches/fabric/HBA) and on the VTL the 
memory and cpu needed to handle the simultaneous backups onto the VTL.

Our environment, NBU 6.5.4 Master and separate media server running on HP-UX 
11-31 with a Data Domain VTL and MSL6060 tape library.  Can I add another media 
server and use the data domain vtl along with the other media server?  Do I 
have to use SSO to share the vtl or will the master take care of the sharing? 
Thanks in advance for any advice.
