If your media server is multi-homed you may need to look at the vm.conf entry:

ACSSSI Host Name

        ACS_SSI_HOSTNAME = host

        This configuration entry applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server

        If this entry is specified in vm.conf, you can specify the host where 
RPC return packets from ACS library software are routed for ACS network 
communications. By default, the local host name is used. This entry is read and 
interpreted on the host where acsd and acsssi are running.

        

        You may also need to make sure you have the corresponding hostname in 
/etc/hosts.

Never done (nor had a need to do) an inventory on our STK powderhorn, as
the ACSLS machine keep track of the tapes.

If you can mount a tape via robtest, and get a status via
mt -f /dev/rmt/? status,  then you should be able to configure
the drive in the robot.

I'm using NBU 5.1 MP4 on Solaris 8, with 4 Solaris Media Servers
sharing 9 STK 9940b drives.  I've never had to add any special ACS
related files/libraries other that those that came with NBU.

That said, I'm wondering if you have the license feature enabled.

The line from my 'get_license_key' is:

Feature:        StorageTek ACS Robotic Libraries (Active)
