I have tried all of the things you mentioned but I am still having the same
issue. The devices are showing up on the fibre card. I removed all of the
old devices before recabling, recabled the library via fibre, and then ran
cfgmgr and it found all the new devices. However inquire and inquire -l
both fail to see the tape devices. I am confused at how AIX can find the
devices and configure them but inquire and jbconfig do not see them. Also
when I do a tctl -f/dev/rmt0 rewind it does rewind the tape so the server
does have connectivity back to the tape library.

Subject: RE: [Networker] configuring a fibre attached library
What bus are the drives showing up on when you lsdev? The ones
you are seeing could be left over from the SCSI-based config.
Inquire -l sends queries down the bus directly if I remember
correctly, so if the devices are attached, it should find them.
Try this:
-rmdev the drives and the autochanger from AIX if they aren't on
the bus from the fibre card
-reset the the fibre bridge on the 3583 (you can do this
serial, over the network if it's configured, or shutdown / restart it)
-do an inquire -l, and see if the drives and changer are there
-if so, run cfgmgr to get AIX up to speed with them
-rmdev the smc0 device (and any other smc's) so that Networker can access
it (I don't know if they fixed this problem yet or not)
If you don't see everything after the bridge reset, check the 3583
to make sure everything is cabled correctly, fibre bridge is configured
to show all the drives,...etc.
