You can connect a library on a SCSI bus between the two systems and share the library the same way as you would in a SAN. I've never tried it between Solaris and Windows, but it should work fine as long as the controllers don't interfere with each other electrically (they will typically be different brands).
The controllers must have different SCSI target addresses - I usually use the default of 7 on one and 6 on the other. If you just want to get some experience with shared libraries within TSM, the simplest method is to create a second TSM server instance on the same system. Then you can define a shared library between the two. I use this method for training classes.
