You can zone it to as many paths as you want but there really isn’t the equiv of Powerpath or whatever for tape to manage the failover so you are going to see duplicates. What you are doing is The Right Way™. Starting in 6.5.something you can do multi-path for your robot if that HBA were to fail, there is a .pdf out there on SYMC’s site about how to configure it.

Had an HBA fail in a media server on Sunday so I feel your pain.

Is there a way to configure the same tape drive on two fiber channels? I am using Netbackup 6.0 MP6.

The way I have it set up now is the robot and half of the drives are set up on one fiber path and the other half of the drives are set up on the other fiber path. Can the robot and drives be seen by both fiber paths so if one goes down the other can take over?

Thanks in advance.
