What I typically do in this situation is to delete ALL the tape drives and adapters from AIX "rmdev -dl rmt*" and "rmdev -dl fcs*"
Then I run cfgmr to pick up the new devices. I have never run into the situation where there was a drive disappearing such as this after a simple ML upgrade. -- Joshua S.

Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: after ML10 upgrade After the upgrade to ML10 and restart of the server I've lost one fcs adapter and 2 tape drives. Within AIX fcs7, rmt3 and rmt8 are listed as defined, not available. There are conflicts with other devices it look like from the number I'm getting. How the hell does this happen? I updated the atape and atldd drivers and after that I have a new device, Rmt11, Rmt3 is now available but rmt8 and 9 are defined, fcs7 is still unavailable. Can I just delete the devices and then run cfgmgr to restore them to things to the original condition? Any easy way to do this? I'll probably have to delete and re-define with TSM I'm sure.
