When you say "non-NDMP" device, does that imply that the data goes
over the network to the storage node and then to the tape drive?.  

Currently our NDMP devices are owned by the filer..  if the devices
are non-NDMP (but can take an NDMP stream) and are owned by the storage
node, does that not imply the NDMP stream will go over the network to
the storage node?   Currently they go right to tape not touching the 
network.


Sorry if I mis-understood the thread.
