I've installed my Netbackup servers to do NDMP.  We've directly connected a
Net App box to two of the drives in our library (it has a total of 10).
 
I've got the permissions set for the master servers to talk to the Net App
box and verified that they work.
 
We've set up the devices on the Net App box.
 
I've removed the two tape drives from the tpconfig for the media server that
controls the robot. Drives 9 and 10 are not configured.  They can only be
seen by the Net App box.
 
I've set up a class and storage unit for the NDMP backups.  The robotic arm
is controlled by one of my media servers.
 
My question is this... all through this procedure there is no setting which
will tell the robot "which" two drives to use. I'm assuming that the robot
arm is pretty stupid and doesn't know device driver files from a database.
It just knows drive slots 1 through 10.  I want it to use slots 9 and 10 for
the NDMP backups.  Where do I configure this setting?
 
Any help is appreciated.
