We deleted 2 tape drives on an AIX 4.3.3 machine that is running Legato Networker with ACSLS. We have been unsuccsessful in recreating them. In the past all I have had to do is run cfgmgr -vl fchanX and I was able to have cfgmgr create them. This is not working. The staff member that did this deleted the tape drive in smitty so all the clean up should have been done. We need to be able to create these but in AIX 4.3.3 there is no FCP option and these are fiber channel drives so any suggestions? The drives are seen by ACSLS and presented to the host.

These are the same drives and were working for a couple of years now. We had someone delete them in smitty and now can not reconfigure them. The drives are all LTO's and they are FCP (Fiber Attached) and the HBA that the drives are connected to is still able to communicate with the other drives connected to that HBA. Thanks again for all the responses.
