I have removed 3 drives within NetBackup, but when I run tldtest on the server I am still seeing them. Does anybody know how to remove them ? The drives are still connected to the DEVICE_HOST which is still powered on, drives are also still in the robot. I have stopped all NetBackup processes on the DEVICE_HOST

Any time that you remove a device in NetBackup, you should first delete the device. This can be done via the GUI or the command line. I suggest the command line.
(PATH) <install_path>\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin
(COMMAND) tpconfig
(USAGE for deleting drives)
tpconfig -delete -drive <drive index>
To find the drive index, you can do a tpconfig -d and note the output.
So, to recap:
1) tpconfig -d and note the output.
2) tpconfig -delete -drive <insert the index which is to be deleted here>
Hope this helps!
