I ran into the same problem. Mike Tibor posted a fix a while back for
it. Clean out your old devices and run cfgmgr.

You had to remove your complete Fiber-Environment with:
> <snip>
> for i in `lsdev -Cc disk|grep Array|awk '{print $1'}` do
> rmdev -dl $i
> done
> rmdev -dl dar0
> rmdev -dl dar1
> rmdev -dl dac0
> rmdev -dl dac1
> rmdev -dl fcnet0
> rmdev -dl fcnet1
> rmdev -Rdl fcs0
> rmdev -Rdl fcs1
> <snip>
>
> Then run cfgmgr -v .
> Your disks will then be available.
> fget_config -Av
> will show your Environment after the change.

Subject: Migrating to FastT

Hello all.

We are migrating a few of our non-production AIX boxes to Fast-T. We
have two adapters zoned to the Fast-T, for redundancy (fcs0 and fcs2).

[atownsen @ uxsyblab1] /home/unixsa/atownsen >>lsdev -Cc adapter | grep
fc
fcs0 Available 41-08 FC Adapter (Fast-T)
fcs1 Available 47-08 FC Adapter (to something else)
fcs2 Available 4F-08 FC Adapter (Fast-T)

When we ran cfgmgr, each disk showed up twice. There are only 12
physical disks, and there is an exported volume group on them. As you
can see, there are actually 24 disks in the available state, 12 for each
adapter.

If I had only one adapter, and saw only 12 disks, I would go ahead and
import the vg. But I'm not sure in this case. (It's only lab). Should I
go ahead and import them anyway?

Thanks,

Drew

Here is the lsdev output for the disks:
