    Best way is to use ost/dedup devices.
    For basic disk you cannot share: the only way is to create a storge unit group adding  basic disks from each media server and work with water mark limits.
    For sharing storage among multiple media servers you need Advanced Disk.
    If you have licenses, please check AdvancedDisk Storage Solutions Guide
    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.DOC6463 and find a solution you may implement.

    You have to do some study before for sizing.
    I do not think vaulting could be a problem.

    Please read through the Advanced Disk manual (URL in Andrea's post).
    It seems that network/CIFS share is supported, but I have no experience with it.
    Please verify licensing requirements before you attempt this.

    Other than bpduplicate (which is good for scripting), you can use the GUI to manually select media ID and destination STU. 
    The GUI does not allow the 'read host' to be specified/selected.
