Thanks Jack.
 
good to know EMM may handle it better than pre 6.x, however, the drive serial numbers should not change, unless we're talking about a separate node accessing a different library, which would create a whole 'nuther set of challenges for a simple "failover".

I believe that you DO still need to configure the devices on both nodes, even if the device configuration is identical.  I think NetBackup uses the drive serial number to determine which drive is which.  We’re doing a new library/drive implementation, and I had to fail Netbackup between the servers to delete the old drives even though the device config was the same (simplifies admin to keep them that way).  I believe that the EMM database keeps separate device configs for each node in the cluster, even if they are the same.  Back in the pre 5.x days when the whole enchilada (application and catalogs) failed over, you HAD to have indentical drive configs of all cluster nodes.
