If these are FC devices I'd recommend to rmdev -dl all (!) of the existing FC entries down to the physical FC adapter (slot) and run cfgmgr afterwards. Cfgmgr is not good in updating existing and/or changed FC devices. A clean and new run of cfgmgr in most cases works better. Search this forum for my posts explaining how to identify parent devices.

Non rootvg VG information depends on hdisk's PV ids and will not be influenced by hdisks changing positions. The tapes won't bother at all so give it a try.
