There's not much hope of a different media server being able to write to
these tape drives. If you want a system to share tape drives, you need some
sort of physical connection between the media server and the tape drives.
If you have a SAN but don't have your tape drives SAN connected, you could
consider a fibre to SCSI bridge and share those tape drives. If you don't
have a SAN at all, the costs probably aren't justified.
