Checking status / defining a 3494 Fibre Attached Library Tape Drive

    Hi All.. after maintenance, one of our 6 Fibre / Switch connected Tape Drives may have been lost in the OS, and is showing as State=Unknown in TSM. It was powered off, repaired and placed back on, then made available in the library. Would AIX have lost the config / path to this device? I am concerned a run of cfgmgr could maybe mess things up.. if there are paths / multipaths to consider? I need to check if it's available in the OS and if not, get it defined / configured. Any help please..?

    Many thanks
    Steve

    It's been powered off and back on when the fault was fixed, will cfgmgr need to be run to get this working? Or does this mean that it's still faulty? any help or commands I can use to test etc... will be welcomed..

    Many thanks
