Drives can only be assigned to a stu, not to hosts.  In this case your
only stu is the master/media, the NDMP hosts are not stu's and therefor
cannot have drives assigned for their use.  The master/media decides how
to allocate drives for backups, including the NDMP hosts.  In this case
you do not have to mark any drives as NDMP.
