"Power cycled the unit" ? Did you reboot? Else run "cfgmgr" and check with "lsdev -Cctape" which might bring something like:

Code:
root@srdbhv02:/> lsdev -Cctape
rmt0 Available 10-18-00-5,0 Bull 20/40 GB 4mm Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 20-48-00-4,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive

If you see your new device with "Available" it is a good sign - insert a tape check with "dd" or "tctl" if you can send it commands ie. read from it or write to it.
