Title

Unable to re-add Library after Removing it from List
Description

Old Library was decommissioned, added new library... removed it and then tried to re-add it but NetVault could no longer see the Library.
Only drives would show. Removing "DeviceTree" files within NetVault did not resolve issue, nor probing Solaris for devices.
Cause

OS issue
Resolution

WORKAROUND:
Library was recognized by doing a "remove_drv sgen", then rebooting the server (had to be in order to free it from kernel).
Once rebooted, stopped the NetVault Service.
Re-added sgen back into the kernel by doing a "add_drv sgen", then restarted Netvault services.
At this point it showed back in the device list and was fully available, once re-added to NetVault.
Additional Information

Although this customer was on an older version of NetVault, that should not be relevant, as this was more an OS issue. Solaris 10
