Ok. Here's some more information. We are on 6.0. Using IOCONFIG,
which states that a reboot is not required. I am using the AddDevice
command with the next path dot 7 ie., ldev=2007 path=0/12.7.0
This command works error-free and returns me to the prompt quickly. I
then do the ListDevice on 2007 and it shows.
Exiting IOCONFIG, I do a SHOWDEV ON 2007 and it shows. Now the
problem... DSTAT on 2007 says that "2007 is not in the volume table. Try
switching device offline, then online"
So maybe IOCONFIG does (in this case) require a reboot?

There is also a known problem that drives that are not present at boot time
will not be seen. I don't know if that is the same problem you report,
because the one I am familiar with involves drives that are already
configured. In any case, there is a beta patch that might be helpful. If
the drives show up after a restart, this patch might help. The patch ID is
MPEMX77A.
Here is the patch description:
On MPE/iX 6.5 after MPEKXD1 is installed, disks that are not present
during the system startup process will not mount if they are presented
to the system after the startup has completed. An example: a disk
module that is not plugged into a Jamaica enclosure at startup time
but is plugged in after the system comes up will not successfully
complete the AVR process and, therefore, will not successfully mount.
This patch corrects the problem above so that disks that are presented
to the system after system startup will be successfully mounted.

I have done this and the drives show up immediately, except when I
have configured
drives incorrectly (wrong path). What does the console say, did the
volumes AVR
when configured or was an error message displayed. One way to tell
is when you
added the drive was there a very long delay before IOCONFIG returned
a prompt.

Hello All,
I'm trying to add some additional drives (EMC) to our system. EMC has
installed and configured them in the cabinet. I have added the paths and
devices using IOCONFIG. However, DSTAT does not show those new devices.
SHOWDEV does list them. So what am I missing? Any help would be
appreciated.
Sincerely,
