[noazara]

Why drive index is always 0?

[RamNagalla]

may be you would needs to expand your question more.

index id is the one that assing for each drive.. and its unique, 0 is only for the first drive.. 

Drive index is assing by Netbackup

Serail number is hardware serail number.

Thanks Nagalla.

dwe can assign drive index as per any rule?

[noazara]

if I want my drive serial number 5 to be index 0 then what to do?

No. Index number is assigned in the order in which drives are added. tpconfig -l does not show drive serial number. Please show us your output and help us understand what your issue is.
