We had an outage on the Brocade fiber switch that attaches STK tape drives to 3 filers
1 filer that is running 6.2.1 pick the drive after the fiber switch went live again The other 2 are running 6.1R1 and they do not see their drives any more
Short of rebooting the Filers running 6.1R1, what can be done
