... using a direct rs232 connection you may just check the current config
i.e.
# lsdev -C -c tape
... something like 
rmt0  Available 10-60-00-5,0 4.0 GB 4mm Tape Drive
rmt1  Available 30-68-00-0,0 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
rmt2  Available 30-68-00-1,0 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
rmt3  Available 10-70-00-2,0 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
rmt4  Available 10-70-00-3,0 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
lmcp0 Available              LAN/TTY Library Management Control Point
# 

and see also the file /etc/ibmatl.conf 
i.e.
# cat /etc/ibmatl.conf
3494    /dev/tty1 dev-null
#
... to get the  symbolic name of the library you are using

To add again the library manager controlpoint (i.e. /dev/lmcp0 )
 
-first install the drivers for drives and library you can use   
-add the drives with cfgmgr
-add the drives with cfgmgr
-add the direct rs232 ... library manager controlpoint
-add the direct rs232 ... library manager controlpoint
        in this example '3494' is the symbolic name of the library - you 
        in this example '3494' is the symbolic name of the library - you 
        just replace it with the name of your library
        with  
        /etc/methods/defatl -ctape -slibrary -tatl -a library_name='3494'

... this should create the /dev/lmcp0 entry for the library named in the 
/etc/ibmatl.conf file 

or 
        /etc/methods/defatl -ctape -slibrary -tatl -a library_name='3494' 
-l'lmcp#'

        ... by replacing # with any other numbers than 0
                if you have otehr definitions

It should just simply match your current definition in adsm 

i.e.
tsm: ADSMAIX>q libr

Library Name   Library      Device             Private    Scratch   
External      
               Type                            Category   Category  
Manager       
------------   ----------   ----------------   --------   --------  
--------------
--------------
3494           349X         /dev/lmcp0         300       
3494           349X         /dev/lmcp0         300       
301
