Tape device problem

Hi all,

I'm facing to the following problem. This morning I connected a DLT tape to
a Tru64 system, V5.1. Now the previous tape drive did have a scsi id of 6,
while this morning I put a scsi id 5. This defined me a new tape device
(tape1). Then I tried to apply the command dsfmgr -m to move the device
back, but I got the following result:

# dsfmgr -m tape1 tape0
dsfmgr: ERROR: second device status is active: tape0

Then I tried to recreate the tape class:

# dsfmgr -r class tape
# dsfmgr -a class tape

but now at the boot phase, I have the following message:

dsfmgr: NOTE: updating kernel basenames and old devnames for system at /
    scp kevm tty00 tty01 lp0 dsk0 floppy0 floppy1 cdrom0 tape0
dsfmgr: ERROR: ADD inconsistant datum for registered device: tape0 HWID

Mounting local filesystems ...

So it seems that I screed up my system. Is there any way to revover this
problem?

Thanks for any help
