Tape device 1cbn path not getting created
After we upgraded one PW450 machine from (networker 7.2 & solaris 9) to (networker 7.4 and solaris 10) through scratch installation

Only one of two HP tape drives is shown in inquire command
And we are getting strange logs in messages file (attached)
For 2nd drive 1cbn character specific file is absent.
But its patch is present in /etc/path_to_inst file

Any one has any idea how to solve this problem?
