[Veritas-bu] Using a stand along Tape Drive with Veritas Netbackup

Dear All,

I am trying install a HP Stand alone LTO-2 Tape drive on Solaris 8. I am

I am able to see the drive via netbackup java console.

Also I am not sure how to use the Stand-alone drive with the netbackup.
Please advise. As of now I am using a Tape Library not a stand alone drive.

With Warm Regards
