    no you do not need to install anything.

    The steps are

    • do the zoning
    • connect to the flex UI
    • go to Fiber Channel interfaces

    • configure the ports for tape
    • configure netbackup the usual way.

    in addition to what StefanosM has listed.... 

    * map the discovered tape drives to Media Server Instance. This may need media server instance to stop/start

    * Finally configure the tape drive in NetBackup usual way.

    Hope it helps.
