SolutionIf the device files are not there, it's a strong indication the system is not seeing the tape drives. If that's the case, creating the device files manually is not going to fix the problem: even if the device file exists, the kernel won't know where to send the data you push into the device files of the missing drives.
Please run "lsscsi". If that isn't installed, install it, e.g. "yum install lsscsi".
Double-check all the FC settings at the silo and the FC switches (if you have them): among other things, this could be caused by incorrect FC switch zoning, or incorrect FC masking at the silo.
