    What you are describing sounds like a device mapping mismatch.
    To confirm, compare the drive serial numbers as follows:

    On the ACSLS server  from cmd_proc do:
    ACSSA> display drive *,*,*,* -f type serial_num

    On NetBackup:
    tpautoconf -t

    Ensure that the /dev/rmt#.1 matches the correct acsls address

If you dont have any NDMP drive run this:

tpautoconf -report_disc

Paste the output here it will clearly tell us if you have any missmatch between autoconf, tpconfig and vmglob DB's, also try the following

tpconfig -dev_ping -drive -path /dev/rmt10.1
tpconfig -dev_ping -drive -path /dev/rmt6.1

This will query the drives directly and you will confirm if your zones are correct.


Hope this helps.
Regards.
