Hello,
Use this technote to configure the library
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH73944

And multiple tape paths are recognized by netbackup correctly. 
Of course all paths does not work together. Netbackup choose the path that
will be used.

Tape Drives are not supporting multipathing.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Device Recognition in RHEL5/NBU7

I've just finished building a new NetBackup environment. NBU is 7.0 and the
OS is Red Hat Enterprise 5. When I brought up the NBU interface to configure
the libraries, I'm seeing each one of my libraries multiple times. I have 1
master and 2 media servers. Each has 4 Qlogic HBAs in them. I've zoned all 4
of the HBAs in the master and the first 2 in both media (I'm going to use
the other 2 HBAs for SAN clients).

I've double checked my SAN zoning and multipathd config in Red Hat and
everything looks fine to me. I have a feeling this is going to be a 'doh!'
moment when I finally figure out the issue.

Anyone else out there running Fibre Channel drives in RHEL? What do you do
to get the OS to just see 1 device with multiple paths instead of thinking
each path = 1 device?

Thanks.
