Only Advanced Disk can be shared.

If you configure more than one storage server, be aware of the following:■ Each media server must mount the file systems of all the disk volumes withina disk pool.■ The mount points must be the same on each media server.NetBackup does not validate mount points, so you must ensure that the mountpoints are the same for each media server. You also must ensure that the mountpoints are valid.■ To obtain a consolidated list of disk volumes, NetBackup queries every mediaserver. For large sets of servers, queries may affect performance.■ Disk volume status is monitored on a single media server. Which servermonitors the status can change. Therefore, a change in disk volume availabilityon one media server may not be reflected in the disk volume status NetBackupreports.Some forum posts:https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/advanced-disk
