The tape drives would go into the library and there should be a SAS cable from the library to the computer. This will show up as multiple SCSI devices, one for each drive and one for the controller. It seems that most mainstream libraries work with mtx as the SCSI commands are standard across the industry. The ethernet port is only used for manual configuration outside of bareos. I have a Dell PowerVault library and I use the network port to check on some maintenance status from time to time, but otherwise it's unused.

Is there a list or experience reports of recommend libraries? I searched already a little bit and found the HPE MSL3040 which would match my requirements. As far as I understood I have to connect the tape drives built into to library directly to the SAS controller of the server? But how do I connect the library itself to steer the autoloader? As far as I can see it only have an Ethernet management port, but as bareos uses mtx with SCSI commands I do not understand how this should work.
