Tape library zoning

I am looking for guidance on zoning our new fibre connected tape library.

Our tape vendor is saying that we should zone the library to both our netbackup media servers and we have no need to zone to storage.

Do we need to zone to storage to complete NDMP/San client backups?

If you plan to configure Direct NDMP, you have to expose your tape libraries to NDMP host(NAS). Otherwise, you don't have to.

Thank you, that makes sense now. I was not aware of the 3 options available: local, direct and remote.

We will be using the remote option, so we have no requirement to zone to the storage.
