I did all that after I sent the email. The one fibre card did not come back. I thought this odd because it was working fine just before the upgrade. After the reboot it went to "defined" and once deleted would not come back. Placed a call to support for IBM to replace it unless they know something I don't. Or you guys don't. So for now I'm out one drive. I had a similar thing happen a couple of years ago except that time I had just decided it was time to re-boot the computer just because it was up for so long. All the TCP/IP settings disappeared, it was as if I had just installed the cards and brought the computer back up. Really weird if you ask me.
