Are you using some sort of multipathing? To check if those are two entries (really) for the same drive, test them with mt. I haven't work with Solaris much lately, but I remember that in old days numbering used to star from 0. In your case is 400+. Unless you use custom names (like /dev/rmt/{bus}{target}cbn then I wouldn't be surprised if device database might have gone banana. Without any further test to test few potential scenarios, it would be hard to say what it is. I would start by testing if I get the response on both device names if case I load the tape. If yes, it means both device names are valid and this might be due to multipathing.
