I think you just need to change the barcode...not the mediaid. You can do something like vmchange -barcode 01951 -m 001951 to associate the new barcode with the old mediaid. Media ids don't actually have anything to do with the barcode. It just so happens that netbackup bases the media I'd off

I'd have to ask why you would want to use SSO on a VTL? Unless there is an arbitrary licensing issue you should be able to create as many drives as you need and assign the appropriate number of drives to each media server. It should work...but at least in our situation it would be more expensive
