What I typically do in this situation is to delete ALL the tape drives
and adapters from AIX "rmdev -dl rmt*" and "rmdev -dl fcs*"

Then I run cfgmr to pick up the new devices.  I have never run into the
situation where there was a drive disappearing such as this after a
simple ML upgrade.

Subject: after ML10 upgrade

After the upgrade to ML10 and restart of the server I've lost one fcs
adapter and 2 tape drives. Within AIX fcs7, rmt3 and rmt8 are listed as
defined, not available. There are conflicts with other devices it look
like
from the number I'm getting. How the hell does this happen?

I updated the atape and atldd drivers and after that I have a new
device,
Rmt11, Rmt3 is now available but rmt8 and 9 are defined, fcs7 is still
unavailable. Can I just delete the devices and then run cfgmgr to
restore
them to things to the original condition?

Any easy way to do this? I'll probably have to delete and re-define with
TSM
I'm sure.
