Is the server on AIX system or something else?  Makes a difference.  Did you 
you look at actlog when you defined and see if any errors or other messages.  
Do these devices exist at the OS level?

Due to other issues I deleted all of my lto drives and library and am
redefining them.  I am following through multiple redbooks and manuals that
say
def library ltolib libt=scsi device=/dev/smc1
and then for the drive
def drive ltolib ltormt17 device=/dev/rmt17 element=257
but when I do a q dr ltolib all of the drives show up as generic?!?!

I am sure I have missed something simple but what am I missing...I know they
showed up as lto before what am I doing wrong or am I simply losing my mind?
