Justin,
Yes, I zoned my tape library on the Brocade switch and that's why the host
can see the library and its first drive. I put the library and NBU master in
a separate WWN-based zone. Is there any other special zoning method I should
be aware of?
Thanks.

Have you zoned the drives on the fiber switch? If you haven't, no amount of
boot -r or changing the st.conf is going to get your drives to show up.
