Art,
I've seen similar behavior following IPL.
Sometimes the library reports in with a different name.
Try WRKMLBSTS
And
WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(TAP*)
If found with a different name, you can rename back to orginal.

Subject: V7R3 Upgrade tape library missing
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.
