Tape Library Software with SAN Awareness
We have been told that there is an HP product (possibly freeware) that will, when a tape drive is in use, allocate the drive on all the other nodes. This would solve our problem. But, we don't know what this software is called or even if it really exists. Is anybody aware of this software?

Choose a node to create a file on, and then write the nodename into the file of any node that currently owns the drive, remembering to check the file first of course.
Once the backups are complete, simply empty the file.

Writing something like this would not be a major 'software development'. A couple of lines of DCL code should be sufficient. If your nodes are running DECnet and one has a default DECnet account:
To 'reserve' a tape:
$ OPEN/WRITE x node::TAPE.DAT;1
If it succeeds, you own the tape. When you're done, close and delete the file. If it fails (file already exists), enter a retry loop, until you could create the file.
