Original question:
We had an outage on the Brocade fiber switch that attaches STK tape drives
to 3 filers
1 filer that is running 6.2.1 pick the drive after the fiber switch went
live again
The other 2 are running 6.1R1 and they do not see their drives any more
Short of rebooting the Filers running 6.1R1, what can be done
Here is a log from filer with 6.1R1
