Re: two tape drives with same id

I see you have two choices:
- Just delete both and rebuild.
- Call IBM and open a ticket.

If your efforts fail to drop both from WRKCFGSTS (perhaps because the 8
only finds the one device and not the phantom other) then you're down to
opening a ticket with IBM.

But, yes, you do need to get this cleaned up.

There are always more options. Such as upgrade all your hardware and get
rid of tape devices and go to a media library. Perhaps even a VTL media
library? Sure, it's a stretch... :-)
