If both libraries are visible to two servers independently, then they should work on separate Networker servers. I don't know how you control the robotics.
Normally a library is partitioned by using some kind of partitioning boards. Each board (and therefor each partition) has it's own fibre channel connectors to control the robotic of the physical library. Make sure you're zoning the fc connectors of board 1 and two of your drives to the first backup server6. For the second partition active zoning should contain fc connectors of partitioning board #2, the other six drives and backup server #2.
Check your library manual to get more information on partitioning...
indeed if your hardware supports this (and most libraries capable of partitioning do) then there should be now problem presenting the different virtual robotic arms to different backup servers. We have several setups of ADIC i2000 libraries that are partitioned and presented to different backup servers, including TSM, networker and Commvault.
