TAPMLB01 is not detected and TAP02 and TAP03 resources aren't either.

This is a two partition system, we upgraded the one partition fine (it
uses the internal tape), then saved the other partition to the library and
system saved to TAP02, upgraded and PTF'd.

Trying to do a system save again and they are missing. We had this
problem a few weeks ago when attempting to test the tape drives before the
upgrade, IBM service came in and told us to power down all partitions,
power down the server, then power server up, power up partitions. that
worked.

I'm wondering why this would happen after an upgrade. Makes me think
there is something wrong with hardware? We are going to call IBM.

We don't need the tape drive for production, but it would have been nice
to get that V7R3 system save done tonight.
