I think I know my issue. I have one partition in the library, one robot, 3 tape drives(2 drives to one, 1 drive to the other server). The control path is via one of the tape drives. I have the servers directly connected to their respective tape drives. So, the 2nd server with the 3rd tape drive does not see the robot. So, it looks like I would need to create two partitions, each with their own control path, their own slots, , and have a master netbackup server for both partitions, etc. I prefer not to go this route.
So, it seems I would need a FC switch, connect the tape drives and the servers to this FC switch, and then setup the zoning correctly so the servers can see the same robot and all 3 tape drives and all slots. Is this correct? I can get a FC switch installed ASAP, but is there a licensing issue here?
To be a little redundant, what I want:
1 partition with all slots, the robot, and all tape drives to be able to write and read the same tapes, have the same catalog, etc. I would have one server as a master/media and the second server as a media netbackup server.
