After, removing dead drive paths from storage unit and it helped to pick good drives paths while running restore.

Thanks. Media servers to tape drive paths are UP but tape drive \ media server path to NDMP host are down. Since NDMP host no longer exist. Is there a way to skip NDMP host. Its old environment and trying to get files restored and no longer doing backup. Only using this old infra for restore old data.
Good thing, we have old Netapp array (target and restore) are connected to Backup infra. Verified connectivity with /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpautoconf -verify <Netapp_array> .
you might have taken backups using Local NDMP configuration in the past but its not available anymore as you mentioned.
In that case, you must delete the down NDMP Tape Drive Paths and let restore to choose the Media Server Path.
Deleting old Tape Drive Paths will not impact any data available on Tapes.
Hope this helps.
