dsfmgr -e /dev/tape/tape(new tape device) /dev/tape/tape(old tape device)
did the trick to change the special device files.
Networker worked like a charm and saw the new devices in the old device names.
This seems to be a soft change. When I had to reboot at a later time I had to redo the command.

Hello fellow SA's
I just replaced 2 bad TZ88 DLT tape drives in my Digital TL812 jukebox which has 4 TZ88 DLT tape devices. Networker(ver 6.0.1) does not see the 2 new tape devices. When I mount a volume to the the device the jukebox knows what tape device to places the tape in. Then Networker errors out with no such device or address.
I ran ./changers -dv -a 7.0.0
and I only got 2 tape device
output:
scsidev_at_7.0.0:Venter <DEC>, Product <TL810 (C) DEC>, Revision <1.25>
Data Transfer Element at address 128 is scsidev_at_7.2.0
Device;Vender <DEC>, Product <TZ88 (C) DEC>, Revision <CF64>
Type:Tape
Data Transfer Element at address 129 is scsidev_at_7.3.0
Device;Vender <DEC>, Product <TZ88 (C) DEC>, Revision <D887>
Type:Disk
then I get a core dump....
***Type:Disk is really weird...****
System: ES40 Tru-64 ver 5.1a
I also have COMPAQ support looking at this with no results so far.
Thanks in advance.
