Have you tries using the `cio_ignore` command to make sure the channels your tapes are attached to aren't blacklisted?
For example: cio_ignore -r 1500 Your tape drives may currently be masked from being detected. For more info on cio_ignore, see What's new in RHEL 6 for Linux on System z<http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/lvc/lvc1215c.pdf> (p. 24).
