I am trying to configure drives in Netbackup 6.5.4 in SLES 11 and the drives 
drives are detected as unusable. I have applied the latest device mappings. but 
that didn't help. The drives are detected on the OS. However, I have noticed 
that the output of scan -tape has the Device Name "-", but the /dev/nst* and 
/dev/st* have been created. I have pasted the out of a few commands below. 
Please assist.
