Sounds like AIX has lost the drive, so duff drive, zoning etc... You could do a cfgmgr -vl (name of fcs port the tape is down) to do a quicker cfgmgr.
errpt -a will give you more info. Have we got multiple drives down the same HBA? i.e. is the hba & cable good?

But I wonder if their is any command such cat /proc/scsi/scsi in AIX or cat /var/log/messages |grep -i LTO The reason why I'm asking is beause one of my tape drives it totally gone from the AIX environment. I run cfgmgr -v to auto-detect it and then when I run lsdev -Cc tape I did see all drives but one of the RMT was in Defind mode or something similar. So I try to remove the RMTx Device node and run cfgmgr -v again but now can't I find it anymore. I have try to remove all my Device Nodes for Tape and Library and reintall the drivers but still. I don't see my drive anymore. If I run "q san" I don't see it in TSM either. Any suggestions what's going on? I'm going to see if I can get access to the SAN Switch and the library (TS3500) via IP. But so far I don't have any access so everything that can help me in AIX to be 100% sure it is a Switch or Library problem should help. I look in errpt also and I see a Adapter Problem but I can't see what it is. Any good switches to get a better explanation of a error in errpt?
