Do they stay up till a backup jobs starts? Did this happen after a
reboot or a new hardware install?
FC or SCSI?

The drives could be out of numeric order in the robot. (ie Netbackup
config thinks robotic drive#1 is really #2 etc....happened to be a
couple times on unix systems when adding a drive, and the device files
get shuffled. )
