Hi Richard ,
yes the drives  are not available to both AIX and tivoli ,
              when i am trying to reconfigure them
 by cfgmgr comand , gives following error.


lsdev: 0514-521 Cannot find information in the predefined device
        configuration database for the customized device mt0.
lsdev: 0514-521 Cannot find information in the predefined device
        configuration database for the customized device mt1.
rmt0 Available 10-60-00-5,0 SCSI 4mm Tape Drive
mt0  Available 20-60-00-3,0 N/A
mt1  Available 20-60-00-4,0 N/A

what i am thinking is to remove mt0 and mt1  and then run cfgmgr , also opening
call with IBM

thanks
Shekhar

This AIX message is obliquely saying that the device driver is not installed
for the device.  Go into SMIT and have a look around.
The classic problem with 'mt' devices is that they are the *SM name for
devices which are also known to the operating system as 'rmt' devices;
and if the operating system goes at them first, it gets them and in effect
takes then away from *SM.
