tpautoconf -report_disc
======================= Missing Device (Drive) ======================
Inquiry = "IBM Ultrium 3-SCSI
Serial Number = HM74536FFS
Drive Path = /dev/rmt/0cbn
Drive Name = DRV_F2D3_LTO5
Missing device means that above entry is not in EMM database of NBU?

"why /dev/rmt/119cbn with QUANTUMDLT800014?"
The drive in tld(6) at drive position 1 now has a different path, therefore the drive that did have path /dev/rmt/9cbn is not found by the operating system
If you run mt -f /dev/rmt/9cbn you will get a message saying 'no such device' or similar.
You say this :
"Drive path should be /dev/rmt/9cbn ?
Because drive QUANTUMDLT800014 has above path."
Maybe it should be 9cbn, but can't you see that the output of the command is telling you that the device at this path is missing ?
Look again

tpautoconf -report_disc ======================= New Device (Tape) ======================= Inquiry = "QUANTUM DLT8000 0250" Serial Number = PXB08P3242 Drive Path = /dev/rmt/119cbn Found as TLD(6), Drive = 1 ===================== Missing Device (Drive) ===================== Drive Name = QUANTUMDLT800014 Drive Path = /dev/rmt/9cbn Inquiry = "QUANTUM DLT8000 0250" Serial Number = PXB08P1345 TLD(6) definition Drive = 1 Hosts configured for this device: Host = plum Host = avocado
What this means?

If you looked in the manual / man page for tpautoconf not only would you find the exact answer, but you would find an exact example of how to fix it.
Missing device does not meanit is missing from EMM, in fact it is the opposite, it is very much in EMM, but not detected anymore by the OS. If it was not in EMM how do you think NBU would know itis 'missing'
This device :
Serial Number = PXB08P3242 Drive Path = /dev/rmt/119cbn
Is attached to the server but not configured in NBU
This device
Drive Name = QUANTUMDLT800014 Drive Path = /dev/rmt/9cbn Inquiry = "QUANTUM DLT8000 0250" Serial Number = PXB08P1345
Was attached and configured, but is now not detcted, probably because it has been removed.
In fact, yes, both drives show as TLD(6) - Drive 1, so this drive has been physically replaced but not configured.
To fix this you could use this command :
tpautoconf -replace_drive drive_name -path drive_path
So ...
tpautoconf -replace_drive QUANTUMDLT800014 -path /dev/rmt/119cbn
This will put the drive at path /dev/rmt/9cbn as the repacement for the missing drive.
As a matter of interest, how many drives are attached to this media server ?

Drive path should be /dev/rmt/9cbn ?
Because drive QUANTUMDLT800014 has above path.
tpautoconf -replace_drive QUANTUMDLT800014 -path /dev/rmt/119cbn
why /dev/rmt/119cbn with QUANTUMDLT800014?
