Default sharing HBAs between disk and tape

Can a single fibrechannel HBA be shared between disk and tape?
This is for a Windows 2000 fileserver that has an HBA for SAN disk
but will now run backup and/or HSM to fibrechannel drives that
are also SAN-attached. If the HBA can be shared can it support
simultaneous access to more than one tape drive? Backup/HSM
software is not decided yet, Veritas, Tivoli, or ???
