I was assuming that you have lot4 fiber tape drives on the library - my bad - what kind of tape drives do you have?
if they are fiber drives then you have a fiber cable coming from the back of each drive going to a SAN switch.
If that is true, then you have to have your SAN people ZONE those drives to your master/media servers.
Log into the TS3310 via the browser and go to Library map and get the WWNN for each drive.
Or the Drive ID's screen.
Supply that info to the SAN people, this will allow them to find the drives on the SAN and setup Zoning that will allow your master/media to see the drives.
As to how NB manges the library:
It is my understanding that the LAN cable on the library is only used for the Browser interface.
Once you setup a library - go to Manage Drives in the browser and Control Paths.
At least one of these should be checked. This is the drive that NB will use as a path to talk to the library (not the LAN cable)
How many modules and drives do you have?
Do you have one master/media or do you have more then media server.
Do you have SSO for NB?

The following subsections explain how to configure robotic control when the
NetBackup media server is installed on an AIX system.
Determine the path to the LMCP device file
Use the Library Manager Control Point (LMCP) device file as the robotic device
file in NetBackup. This file is set up when the Automated Tape Library is first
configured.
Use the lsdev command (or smit) to determine the LMCP device file.
The following example uses the lsdev command:
/etc/lsdev -C | grep "Library Management"
The following is the output from this command:
lmcp0 Available LAN/TTY Library Management Control Point
Verify library communications on an AIX computer
After you determine the path to the LMCP device file, verify library
communications through the IBM-provided mtlib interface. Resolve all errors
before attempting to configure IBM 3494 support in Media Manager.
To verify communications with a specific library, specify the Library Manager
Control Point device file with the mtlib command. For example, if the LMCP device
path is /dev/lmcp0, the following command verifies communication with the
library:
/usr/bin/mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL
The following is the output from this command:
Library Data:
state..................... Automated Operational State
<snip>
Configure the robotic device file on AIX
Configure the robotic path. For procedures, see the NetBackup Administrator’s
Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I or NetBackup Administrator’s Guide for
Windows, Volume I.
When the configuration is complete, you can view the robotic device information.
The following example uses tpconfig -d to view the robotic device information.
In this example, the first two drives are stand-alone drives. The drive with drive
index 31 is under TLH robotic control and the drive with drive index 78 is under
TL4 control.
# /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d

Congratulations...!!!!
it is working now... the network enginer put the server in the correct zone.
Thanks
